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

  1. Spread the refried beans evenly across the bottom of a clear 9×13 inch serving dish. Press them down gently.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and taco seasoning until combined. Spread this seasoned sour cream mixture over the bean layer.
  3. 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.
  4. Spoon the salsa evenly over the guacamole layer. Do not stir the layers.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese blend over the salsa.
  6. Top the cheese with the chopped black olives.
  7. Finish the dip by sprinkling the chopped fresh tomatoes over the top layer.
  8. 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.
