Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded chicken
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
1 (8 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons lime juice
3 green onions, chopped
Cilantro and additional green onions for garnish
Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions:

Preparing the Creamy Base:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the taco seasoning and minced garlic to the mixture. Stir until the seasoning is well incorporated.
Incorporating Chicken and Cheese: Fold in the shredded chicken and 1 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Layering the Dip: In a 9×9-inch serving dish or a similar-sized dish, spread the creamy mixture evenly to form the base layer.

Sprinkle the drained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles over the creamy base.
Next, add the rinsed and drained black beans as the third layer.

Finishing Touches: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the dip.

Drizzle the lime juice evenly across the top for a zesty touch.
Scatter the chopped green onions over the cheese.
Baking (Optional): 10. If you prefer a warm and melty dip, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the dip for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Garnish and Serve: 11. Once out of the oven or as is, garnish your Creamy Chicken Taco Dip with fresh cilantro and additional chopped green onions.
