Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
Bacon Bits - make your own bacon bits with keto-friendly bacon (optional but still delicious)
Diced Chilis - add a 4 ounce can of diced chillis for additional heat and flavor.
Jalapeno - add more spice and heat with a finely dices jalapeno.
Mexi-Corn - not keto-friendly but a small can of drained Mexi-Corn will ad a touch of sweetness and crunch to this dip.
Completely optional but I like to remove the extra moisture to help keep the dip from becoming too watery. If you are in a hurry or prefer you can just dump in the full can.
If you are keeping keto or low carb serve pork rind chips or cup up vegetables. I don't keep keto so I love a Frito Scoop corn chip or traditional tortilla chip. I have even been known to dollop this dip on tacos or a burger!
If your grocery store does not carry a sugar-free taco seasoning you can easily make one yourself. Head over to my keto taco seasoning recipe and make a batch in less than 5 minutes.
