Recipes

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and 1/2 packet of taco seasoning with 3/4 of the sour cream (hold the rest of the sour cream to decorate). Set mixture aside.

first spread the bean dip in the bottom of the dish

followed by the shredded cheese

then the pico

then add the mixure to the dish

top with guacamole.

sprinkle green onions on top

To decorate the top, spoon a medium sized dollop of sour cream in the center. This is the spider's "nest."

Spoon the rest of the sour cream into an air-tight bag. Cut a very small piece out of 1 of the bottom corners of the bag and, starting at the outer edge of the dip, pipe a thin circle around the perimeter. Create another circle half way between the perimeter circle and the center dollop, creating 3 circles.

Using a knife blade, toothpick or skewer, drag a thin line of the sour cream from the "nest" outward toward the edge of the dish. Continue making lines all around the "nest" to complete the spider web design.

Embellish with plastic decorative spiders. Serve with a bowl of blue tortilla chips,
