Make this Tex-Mex inspired layered dip for your next gathering. It features distinct layers of flavor 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 (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) 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, 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 across the bottom of a clear 9×13 inch serving dish. This is your first layer.
  2. Spread the guacamole evenly over the bean layer.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with the taco seasoning mix until fully combined. Spread this seasoned sour cream mixture over the guacamole layer.
  4. Spoon the drained salsa evenly over the sour cream layer.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa layer.
  6. Top the cheese with the chopped tomatoes.
  7. Finish the dip by scattering the sliced black olives over the tomatoes.
  8. If using, sprinkle with green onions.
  9. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour 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 well; excess liquid will make the lower layers watery.
  • To keep the guacamole layer fresh longer, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before adding the sour cream layer.
