This is a great party appitizer, as it makes a whole tray of dip.
1 lb. ground beef
taco seasoning packet (or make it yourself with chili powder, cumin, red pepper, garlic powder, paprika)
12 ounces cream cheese - softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 cup salsa (homemade is the best because you can eliminate or replace the sugar)
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (if you have problems with cheese, eliminate the cheese or use less)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/3 cup green onions.
Brown ground been in skillet. Drain. Add taco seasoning packet/homemade with about 1/4 cup water. Simmer 5-10 minutes.
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, chili powder, cumin and red pepper in large bowl: mix until well blended. Stir in salsa. Spread ground beef mixture while it's still hot onto 10-inch serving platter, then spread cream cheese mixture on the beef. Next spread the cheese, then lettuce and top with tomatoes and green onions.
Serve with tortilla chips for your non-atkins guests and with jicama chips, cheese chips, veggies and anything else you can think of for your Atkins-friendly guests..... or just keep the whole thing for yourself.
