Let’s Make 7 Layer Dip!
This 7-layer dip recipe will become your go-to appetizer! Thank goodness it is such a simple recipe that I can throw it together easily and it looks and tastes so incredibly delicious!
- Layer ingredients: In an 8×8-inch dish, layer the refried beans and guacamole. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the taco seasoning and layer on top of the guacamole. Then, layer salsa on top.

Variations of 7-Layer Dip:
This seven-layer dip is impressive and impossible to mess up. There are many different versions of it floating around, but this is definitely the best one I have seen! Here are a few more ideas to make your finished dip even more unique to your family.
- Add toppings: Jalapenos, green chilies, and cilantro are great toppings to give your dip even more personality.
- Meaty Version: Add taco meat for an even heartier version. It would easily take this dip from an appetizer to a full meal.
- Chill: Cover and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will bring the flavors together!
- Thick salsa: Use a thick salsa or pico de gallo so it’s not too runny.
How to Store and Make Ahead
- Can You Make 7 Layer Dip Ahead? This dip is best served shortly after making it. This is mostly because of the freshness of the ingredients, like the guacamole and pico de Gallo.
- Fridge: Leftovers in the fridge will stay for 3-4 days. Especially since the guacamole is between the bean and sour cream layers. By having it in a center layer, it will keep it from turning brown when the air hits it. It may start looking less appealing after a few days. It will still be safe to eat and taste fantastic!
