A straightforward recipe for a popular Tex-Mex layered dip perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup salsa, drained well
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Spread the refried beans evenly across the bottom of a clear 9-inch pie plate or serving dish.
  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. Gently spread the guacamole layer over the sour cream.
  4. Spoon the drained salsa evenly over the guacamole layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa.
  6. Top with the chopped tomatoes.
  7. Arrange the sliced black olives over the tomatoes.
  8. Cover the dish and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Notes

  • Use a clear dish so guests can see all seven layers.
  • Drain the salsa well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • To keep the guacamole layer from browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before adding the next layer.
