Fun appetizer. I made this quite a while ago, and just saw the pic on my camera and wanted to upload. I did change some things. Didn't use any ground beef (wanted to serve cold and wasn't sure I would like the beef cold) and so I mixed the seasoning into the cream cheese. Also used prepared mini pizza crusts and cut into tiny slices to serve as appetizers. Very cute.

I don't really care for tacos but this was delicious. I made half the recipe for dinner. I did add a couple of tablespoons of salsa to the sour cream mixture. Made for Photo Tag

Made these several weeks ago for one of the monthly groups I host & they were A BIG HIT! I especially enjoyed the inclusion of black olives AND the mix of cheeses! Definitely something I'd make again! Thanks for posting a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #26]
