Make this Tex-Mex inspired seven layer dip for your next gathering. It features distinct, flavorful layers that are easy to assemble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup salsa, well drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced Roma tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives, drained
  • Optional: Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with cumin and chili powder. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or clear serving platter. This is your first layer.
  2. Spread the guacamole evenly over the bean layer. If you are making this ahead of time, brush the top lightly with lime juice to slow browning.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with the taco seasoning. Spread this seasoned sour cream mixture over the guacamole layer.
  4. Spoon the well-drained salsa evenly over the sour cream layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa layer.
  6. Top the cheese with the diced Roma tomatoes.
  7. Finish the dip by scattering the sliced black olives over the tomatoes.
  8. If using, sprinkle with chopped green onions.
  9. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Use a clear glass dish so guests can see all seven layers.
  • Drain your salsa very well; excess liquid will make the lower layers watery.
  • To prevent the guacamole from browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before adding the next layer.
