Hello food lovers!
Do you ever crave a certain type of cuisine?
Yes? Me too. In our house, everyone has been craving Mexican food. Since that’s a pretty healthy meal, I haven’t said much, but I did feel the need to change it up a bit. That’s where this dip comes in.
Seven-Layer Dip has awesome ingredients on each level so when combined in your mouth they give a mighty punch of flavor. To add another layer, (no pun intended 🙂 I’m going to share our family’s guacamole recipe so you can add fresh guacamole each time you make this easy fan favorite.

Seven-Layer Taco Dip
Items needed:
- 2-quart square glass pyrex dish
- spatula
- knife
- cutting board
Ingredients:
- One 16oz can of refried beans
- Guacamole
- Enough sour cream to cover and put a layer on top of the guacamole
- Shredded Colby or your choice cheese
- Sliced olives
- Chopped onions (I use green onions.)
- Diced tomatoes
Directions
- Take your glass pyrex dish and spread the entire 16 oz can of refried beans on the bottom using your spatula.
- Now add enough guacamole to cover the beans.
- Next, comes the layer of sour cream. Wash the spatula off before adding each layer to make it uniform.
- Using your choice block of cheese, shred until a nice layer covers the sour cream. You can also use the pre-shredded cheese you purchase from the store.
- For your olives, you can buy a can that is already sliced or buy whole olives and slice them yourself. Regardless, this will make the next layer.
- Now, chop some green, white, or yellow onions and sprinkle them over the olives.
- The final layer will be your diced tomatoes which you can prepare ahead of time or dice fresh for the occasion.
BAM!
You now have a fan favorite that took about 10 minutes to make. Perfect for when time is short, or your church is having a potluck. Remember if you are having a taco night this dip spreads nicely on a soft taco adding loads of flavor when combined with the meat.
Enjoy your week, Friends!
