7 Layer Taco Dip

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces of canned refried beans
  • 16 ounces of sour cream
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 2 ounces of taco seasoning (roughly 5 tablespoons), split
  • 2 cups of either Pico de gallo or salsa
  • 12 to 16 ounces of guacamole
  • 1 to 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 2 ounces of canned, sliced olives
  • Optional: Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnishing

Step-by-Step Creation Guide

  1. Begin by blending the refried beans with half of the taco seasoning until smooth, using an electric mixer. Keep this aside.
  2. In a different bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and the remaining taco seasoning. Whip it up until it’s perfectly blended and creamy.
  3. Choose a deep dish (9×13 inches) or a glass trifle bowl for a stunning display. Note: The 9×13 dish creates thinner layers.
  4. Layering is key: start with the bean mixture, then layer on the cream cheese blend, guacamole, Pico de gallo or salsa, shredded cheddar, and top it off with sliced olives.
  5. Add a final flourish with a garnish of green onions or cilantro.
  6. Refrigerate the dip for a while to enhance its flavor and texture.
