    • Taco Seasoning - Use your favorite. Adds the earthy flavor of cumin and a little kick of spice.

    • Dairy Free Shredded Cheddar - What's queso without the cheese? Makes this dip creamy and dreamy.
    • Dairy Free Milk - Helps melt the cheese while also giving this dip its texture. Use your favorite such as oat milk.
    • Tortilla Chips - You can use your favorite dipper, but crispy, crunchy tortilla chips are the classic choice. Double dipping is highly encouraged!
