How to store
If you find yourself with leftovers (unlikely, but it happens!), here’s how to keep your taco dip fresh. Transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the fridge; it should last about 3-4 days. If you want to freeze it, do so without the fresh toppings (like tomatoes) and avoid freezing the sour cream layer, as it can change texture. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the refrigerator and serve fresh toppings prior to enjoying.Condiments & Dressings
