Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Taco Dip
  1. Hollow the Mini Pumpkin: Carefully cut off the top of a firm mini pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and flesh. Leave about half an inch of sturdy wall.
  2. Prepare the Taco Dip Base: In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy, which takes about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Flavorful Ingredients: Gently fold in the shredded cheese, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes into the creamy mixture. Mix until well incorporated, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Dip: Spoon the mixture into the hollowed mini pumpkin and smooth the top with a spatula. This should only take about 2 minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for an extra crunch. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature, drain canned tomatoes well, and serve fresh as the pumpkin can spoil quickly.
