A flavorful and crowd-pleasing seven layer taco dip featuring creamy refried beans, tangy salsa, melted cheddar, fresh veggies, and easy homemade guacamole. Perfect for parties and casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
  • 1 cup sour cream (full fat or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup salsa (medium heat recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky. Add minced garlic, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir gently and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and salsa until well blended.
  3. Spread refried beans evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch serving dish using the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
  4. Carefully spoon the sour cream and salsa mixture over the beans, spreading evenly to create the second layer.
  5. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sour cream layer.
  6. Gently spread the guacamole over the cheese layer without mixing the layers.
  7. Scatter diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and green onions over the guacamole.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temperature with sturdy tortilla chips or preferred dippers.

Notes

Use ripe avocados and fresh lime juice to keep guacamole bright and prevent browning. Use room temperature ingredients for easier layering. Chill dip before serving to meld flavors. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute sour cream and cheese with plant-based alternatives and use black beans instead of refried beans.
