Seven Layer Taco Dip

Serve this classic Seven Layer Taco Dip at your next fiesta. This no bake party dip has all the Mexican flavors…including guacamole!

I’m sharing today our family’s best taco dip recipe. It’s easy to make (only 15 minutes needed!) and no baking necessary.

Have a party coming up? Bring this popular dip recipe. Looking for a new Meatless Monday option? This is it…there’s no meat, which makes my daughter happy. 🙂

Below is our easy bean dip recipe, along with variations so you can make it how your family will love it.

What are the 7 layers of dip?

This dip has 7 layers, but more than 7 ingredients. Here’s how we layer them:

• Refried beans & taco seasoning
• Cream cheese & sour cream mixture
• Guacamole
• Salsa
• Colby cheese. Or pepper jack or cheddar cheese.
• Lettuce
• Black olives

Now what if someone in your family doesn’t like one of the ingredients above? Try one of these variations to make your own layer taco dip recipe:

• Leave out the cream cheese. It adds a smoothness and richness to the party dip, but it isn’t necessary.
• Don’t have any salsa? Use a diced tomato or even petite diced tomatoes from a can (drain off any juice).
• Mix the taco seasoning with the beans, with the sour cream or just sprinkle it over one of those two layers. Oh…and use less if you’d like. 3 tablespoons adds a huge kick of flavor!
• Leave out the guacamole. And use freshly chopped veggies instead. Think finely diced red or poblano peppers and red onions.
• Use Cotija cheese instead of shredded Colby. Or use cheddar cheese if you’d like.
• Use green onions instead of black olives.

Do you serve 7 layer dip hot or cold?

This is a cold dip. No need to bake it or heat it through. Simply serve with a large bowl of tortilla chips and watch it disappear. Your family, friends and guests will love it.

Ingredients

 

• 16 ounces traditional refried beans (1 can)
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 12 ounces guacamole
• 15.5 ounces salsa (your favorite brand) (1 jar)
• 8 ounces shredded Colby cheese
• 1 cup finely shredded lettuce
• 1/3 cup sliced olives

Instructions

 

• Note: This recipe will fill a 9×9 square baking dish to the top. You can also spread it in a 9×13 baking pan but the layers will be thinner.
• Spread the refried beans in the bottom of a square baking pan, then sprinkle the taco seasoning over the top. (You can also mix the taco seasoning with the beans or with the sour cream mix if you'd like it to be more evenly distributed.)
• In a small bowl, combine together the cream cheese and sour cream. Mix well, then spread the cream cheese layer over the refried beans.
• Spread the guacamole over the sour cream mix.
• Spread the salsa over the guacamole.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa.
• Sprinkle lettuce over the cheese.
• Sprinkle sliced olives on the top.
• Serve immediately or within 1 hour of preparing the dip. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator before serving. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
