Tips:

Make Ahead: You can prepare the dip a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Add the shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and black olives just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
Taco Seasoning: For a homemade keto-friendly taco seasoning, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Variations: Feel free to customize the layers with your favorite ingredients, such as jalapeños for extra spice or radishes for a crunchy, low-carb addition.
