Are you sick of serving chips and salsa when you entertain? Why not serve a delicious, colorful, and chunky Mexican inspired 7 layer taco dip that your guests will remember!
Everyone loves tacos and taco dip! As a matter of fact, the only thing better than eating a fresh taco is eating taco dip!
So what’s in a 7 layer taco bean dip?
There are quite a few variations to this dip. But this is our favorite. It’s simple and perfect.
- Refried beans (you can certainly buy premade beans in a can, but why not kick it up and make your own refried beans?)
- Guacamole (again, you can buy this too – but we’ve got a great simple recipe for Guac)
- Cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning
- Picante sauce (or salsa) – yup, we have a recipe for salsa too!)
- Lettuce
- Colby Jack cheese
- Black Olives
How To Layer a Taco Dip
Simply follow the pictures below for an amazing dip your guests will love.
The refried beans do not need to be cooked or heated. They are already cooked. Simply layer them in the pan. We prefer to use a glass 8×8 baking pan for this so your guests can see all the layers of this delicious dip from the sides enticing them even more!
Variations:
There’s nothing saying you have to stop at 7 layers. Why not try adding a layer of:
- Ground beef seasoned with taco seasonings or
- Jalapenos or
- Diced tomatoes
This dip is best made ahead of time giving you plenty of time to relax and enjoy your guests.
