Okay, I know what you are thinking because I, too thought it. What on earth is tarantula dip and it better not be what I think it is because I HATE spiders! Never fear, folks! This dip does not contain any creepy, crawly insects, I promise. It does, however, contain ground beef, beans, and cheese. Yum! You’ll see why this dip is named after a hairy spider on the next page. Do you have any weird names for your homemade recipes? If so, please tell me some of them in the comments 🙂

This dip feeds a crowd so feel free to half the recipe if you need, too. It’s made in a deep casserole dish, perfect for scooping up onto corn chips. I love making this dip for parties and get-togethers.

You can serve this tarantula dip with all of your favorite taco fixings such as salsa, taco sauce, sour cream, and guacamole dip. Set condiment in individual bowls so folks can personalize their dipping experience. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: There are taco seasoning mixes that do not have gluten in them. Feel free to use them in this recipe if you need too 🙂

This Mexican delight is great as party or tailgate food but also makes for part of a nice Mexican meal at home, if you prefer. I do love some Mexican food, now and then. This dip is, strictly speaking, an appetizer, but it also makes for a nice side dish, and one or two people could make a decent vegetarian (not vegan, granted, but vegetarian) lunch out of it!  And being what it is, I am sure that you wouldn’t have much trouble expanding the recipe, if needed.

I went with some homemade enchilada sauce, but I am sure that the ranchero would be just fine, as well.  It’s really a matter of personal preference. If you intend for this to be part of a full Mexican dinner, you might consider having some black beans and/or beef enchiladas with it.  Otherwise, just serve with plenty of your favorite tortilla chips.  Enjoy!

It’s that classic Mexican dip loved by so many!  This Chunky Guacamole recipe yields a rather authentic version of this Mexican treat without too much time or hassle.  Though great just served up with some tortilla chips, it also makes a great addition to tacos and many other delicious Mexican dishes.

My sister and I ate a ton of guacamole dip back in the day, both in restaurants and at home.  We loved chowing down on a good bowl of homemade guacamole with some Tostito’s tortilla chips, and Mother would usually make some to go in tacos for our frequent Tex-Mex nights.  I hadn’t had guacamole in a little while, so I decided to give this recipe a try.  It is a bit of a variance from my typical at-home recipe, but I really liked how it turned out.
