Let’s Make Dip!
This will definitely be my new go to dip recipe! 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 a 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.
- Add toppings: Top with shredded cheese, olives, tomatoes, and green onions.
- Serve!
Variations of 7 Layer Dip:
This 7 layer dip is an impressive dip that is 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 that could easily take this dip from an appetizer to a full meal.
- Chill: Cover and place the completed dip in the refrigerator to chill 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.
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. However, the leftovers will still be good for a 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Especially since the guacamole is between the bean and sour cream layers. Placing it in a center layer will keep it from turning brown when the air hits it. It may start looking less appealing after a couple of days, but it will still be safe to eat and taste fantastic!
