FAQ'S FOR THIS VEGAN TACO DIP RECIPE
1. Can I make this vegan taco dip ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the dip a few hours in advance and store it covered in the fridge. For best results, wait to add ingredients like tomatoes, green onions, or lettuce until just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
2. What can I use instead of vegan sour cream?
If you don’t have vegan sour cream on hand, you can substitute it with unsweetened plain vegan yogurt or make a simple cashew cream. Just be sure to season it with taco seasoning for that classic flavor.
3. Is this dip gluten-free?
Yes, the dip itself is naturally gluten-free as long as your taco seasoning and all packaged ingredients (like vegan cheese or sour cream) are certified gluten-free. Just pair it with gluten-free tortilla chips if needed.
4. How long will leftovers last in the fridge?
Leftover vegan taco dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The layers may soften a bit over time, but it will still taste great!
