Description

This 7 Layer Taco Dip is a delicious and easy crowd-pleaser perfect for parties and game day. Featuring layers of seasoned refried beans, creamy sour cream, fresh guacamole, shredded cheese, crisp lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions, it’s a flavorful Mexican-American appetizer served chilled with tortilla chips.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning, divided
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup guacamole or 2 ripe avocados mashed with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, seeded
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Tortilla chips for serving


Instructions

  1. Season the Beans: In a medium bowl, mix the refried beans with 2 teaspoons of the taco seasoning until well combined to create a flavorful base layer.
  2. Layer the Beans: Spread the seasoned beans evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch serving dish, ensuring a smooth, compact layer.
  3. Prepare Sour Cream Layer: In another bowl, stir the sour cream with the remaining taco seasoning until smooth, then carefully spread it over the bean layer to add creamy spice.
  4. Spread Guacamole: Gently spread the guacamole over the sour cream layer to form the third layer, adding freshness and creaminess.
  5. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the guacamole, followed by a layer of shredded lettuce, then diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions, building vibrant layers.
  6. Chill and Serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a layer of salsa between the sour cream and guacamole.
  • To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole layer before chilling.
  • This dip can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance for convenience.
