Description
Make this classic Tex-Mex appetizer, the easy seven layer dip, for your next party. It is a crowd-pleasing, layered dip that looks great and tastes even better.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 cup guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup salsa (medium heat recommended)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup chopped black olives, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
Instructions
- Spread the refried beans evenly across the bottom of a clear 9×13 inch serving dish. Press them down gently.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and taco seasoning until combined. Spread this seasoned sour cream mixture over the bean layer.
- Carefully spread the guacamole layer over the sour cream. To keep it fresh, you can brush a thin layer of lime juice over the top if you are making this ahead of time.
- Spoon the salsa evenly over the guacamole layer. Do not stir the layers.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese blend over the salsa.
- Top the cheese with the chopped black olives.
- Finish the dip by sprinkling the chopped fresh tomatoes over the top layer.
- Chill the party layered dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Use a clear glass dish so your guests can see all seven layers.
- If you are worried about the guacamole browning, assemble the dip just before the guests arrive.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a layer of seasoned ground beef or black beans between the refried beans and the guacamole.
