Frito Lay can make game day extra fun by providing you and your guests with the necessary sustenance to root for your team. My house usually has plenty of hoots and hollers and we all need a little pick me at half time! While you might not think of extra healthy eating when you think of Frito Lay, you can usually find ways to trim down the fat and calories by substituting healthier ingredients.
I decided to go with a true favorite of my entire family and make my mom’s taco dip. It is fast, easy, oh so yummy and came in very handy for the Monday night showdown this week between the Minnesota Vikings (my team!) and the Green Bay Packers! The victory may have been sweet but the treats were salty.
Taco Dip
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz sour cream
1 packet of Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheese
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup chopped lettuce
green onion (optional)
black olives (optional)
Mix the sour cream and seasoning together, then add softened cream cheese and mix until creamy. Layer ingredients with cream cheese mixture on bottom, then salsa, lettuce, tomato, green onion and olives (if desired) and top with cheese. Chill for one hour or more. Serve with Tostitos Tortilla Chips and/or Fritos Corn Chips.
Better- For-You Options:
- Fat Free or Lite Sour Cream
- Lite Cream Cheese
- Fat Free Shredded Cheese
Feel free to change the topping amounts to suit your tastes. I don’t really measure but just eyeball it!

My favorite is making homemade fresh salsa using veggies from the garden and a bag of tortilla chips.
Put a 8oz light cream cheese brick on a plate.
Cover it with salsa.
Serve with Fritos.

Chilli and Cheese on Fritos scoops baked in the oven. Essentially they are corn chip nachos. Healthier? I put shredded lettuce and tomato slices on top.
