Anyone have a hit recipe for a quick/easy mexican appetizer?

I make a layered dip that people LOVE and its easy. Of course, it depends on what you like...but I put refried beans on bottom, mix one packet taco seasoning with 1 16 oz. sour cream, layer that next, salsa on top of that, shredded lettuce and then shredded cheese





The sour cream mixture is what makes it the best.Anyone have a hit recipe for a quick/easy mexican appetizer?

If you can find the bags of mini bell peppers they sell at Costco and Trader Joe's, nuc them for a minute or two to soften, allow to cool, slit the side and stuff with a mixture of shredded cheese with a little cumin and chili powder and perhaps some sliced scallions. Bake or broil to melt the cheese just before serving.
Spread 1 package of cream cheese on the bottom of a pie plate, top that with can of hormel chili (any one) then top with 1 package of shredded cheese. Cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 5 minutes, uncover and microwave for another 5 minutes! Yummy! Serve with chips
