Ingredients
  

For the Taco Meat
  • 1 lb Panorama Organic Grass-Fed Ground Beef a high-quality base that keeps it juicy and flavorful.
  • 1 tsp Cumin adds a warm, earthy note that enhances the beef beautifully.
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder infuses a mild heat for that classic taco flavor.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder brings out the savory richness, making each bite irresistible.
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano contributes an aromatic touch that complements the spices.
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika offers a subtle smokiness that elevates the overall taste.
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt be generous; it balances the flavors and makes everything pop.
For the Broth
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth or Bone Broth adds depth and moistness as the meat simmers.
For the Caramelized Corn
  • 2 tbsp Ghee a tasty alternative to oil that enhances the corn's natural sweetness.
  • 1 can Canned Corn saves time while providing that sweet crunch.
For the Dip
  • 1 cup Sliced Olives lend a briny bite that contrasts with the creamy components.
  • 2 cups Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese a melty, cheesy layer that binds the dip together.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream contributes creaminess and a zesty finish; make sure it's room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes adds freshness; if using canned, drain well to avoid excess moisture.
For Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Cilantro brings a pop of color and a burst of freshness to finish it off!

Method
 

How to Make Layered Taco Dip
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and kosher salt. Stir well to combine and enhance the flavors.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth or bone broth, allowing it to simmer as the liquid reduces slightly.
  3. In another skillet, melt ghee over medium heat. Add the drained corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's nicely caramelized and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced olives, shredded Mexican blend cheese, sour cream, and diced tomatoes. Stir well until all ingredients are mixed together.
  5. Layer the taco meat in a serving dish, top it with caramelized corn, and finish with chopped cilantro for garnish. Serve the dip on the side for everyone to enjoy!
