Cathy's Taco Dip

Cathy's Taco Dip
________
This is my sister-in-law's recipe.  Every time I make this recipe I am amazed at the simplicity of the ingredients and the light flavor it produces when combined.  This is always gone at the end of the party.
Chop everything finely.

3 ounces cream cheese, soft
1 cup sour cream
_____
lettuce, chopped (red leaf adds color but use any kind)
green onions, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
green pepper, chopped
black olives, chopped, optional
Colby Cheese, 4-6 ounces shredded
1, 7-ounce bottle Picante or Taco sauce, your choice
(I like green chili taco sauce)
1 large bag sturdy tortilla chips

  1. Beat cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  2. Spread on a platter or 11x14" pan.
  3. Layer the finely chopped vegetables in order as above.
  4. Cover with cheese.
  5. Pour sauce over top and spread evenly.
  6. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
  7. Serve with chips.
