Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise “This is probably my favorite nacho/taco dip I've ever made,” raves Mochi PJAMas. “It was really easy and made a HUGE amount, perfect for a big family snack or a party. The addition of the taco seasoning to the refried beans gave a tasty kick.” “This was really good,” says Lisa Brown. “I don't have a large serving platter, so I used 13x9-inch baking dish. I was concerned there wouldn't be enough beans to cover the bottom, so I added a little bit of salsa and it worked out perfectly.” “I always get rave reviews for this one,” according to MaLizGa. “It's so easy to assemble and such a crowd pleaser!” Editorial contributions by Corey Williams Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops!
