When I'm entertaining, this colorful dish is my top menu choice. My friends can't resist the hearty appetizer topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and olives. &mdash;Kathy Young, Weatherford, Texas

Texas Taco Dip Platter

beef

onion,

(14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

(12 ounces) tomato paste

(15 ounces) tomato puree

chili powder

cumin

garlic powder

salt

corn chips

rice

cheddar cheese

lettuce,

tomatoes,

(2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

sauce,

In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles; drain. Add next 7 ingredients; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.

Add beans and heat through. On a platter, layer the corn chips, rice, meat mixture, cheese, onion, lettuce, tomatoes and olives. If desired, serve with picante sauce.

Question: How do you eat this? Do you spoon it on to plates with more corn chips? Do you use tortilla chips and scoop it up right from the platter?

I've been making a dish like this for years, we call it "dinner nachos" because it's got meat, veggies and lots of cheese. The nice thing about it is that you can vary the ingredients to whatever is on hand or you're in the mood for. I use extra lean ground beef so I don't have to drain it. I've always thought it was silly to add onions, garlic and spices to ground beef and then drain away those flavors when the meat was done cooking.

Added fresh roasted green chilies to the meat mixture as it simmered and fresh jap on top of the pile.  I think salsa and maybe a dollop of sour cream on top would be good.

I know this recipe as Mexican Stack.  Absolutely love it.  I love adding jalapenos on one side and  banana peppers on the opposite side.  Fun recipe to serve to guests.

This recipe is AMAZING!  That being said, it's also huge.  I made a half recipe and it still fed a lot of people as an appetizer.  This is definitely going to be my go-to snack for a crowd.  I used seasoned rice for this, but I'm sure it would also be delicious with plain rice.  FANTASTIC!

Made this last night with a couple of substitutes. Instead of the tomato paste & puree, I just added a container of my favorite deli salsa to the meat.  Definitely a hit at our house. Will be making it again!

I made this as a lunch and delicious as written.  I added Saxon Seasoning packet to water for rice.

I thought it might be too spicy, but it really wasn't and had a great flavor,we enjoyed it.

made it for one of our parties as a starter--everyone loved it!Thank you "Taste of Home"-JR Ranch

What a big hit this was with my Grandkids. Us adults loved it too!

I have been making this for many years and my family absolutely loves it.  When I say I'm making Texas Taco Platter, I know I'll have a house full of people.

I've been making this since it first came out in   Taste of Home.

This is a good recipe very tasty, I serve it on plates or bowls will be making it for Super Bowl Game we like to drizzle a little homemade salsa on it too with a few garden canned jalapenos yummmmmmm
