The Perfect Super Bowl Snack
This 7 Layer Dip is a game-changer for your casual gatherings, especially those fun Super Bowl parties. It’s a personal favorite of mine, with its irresistible layers of creamy guacamole, zesty salsa, and ooey-gooey cheese that just meld perfectly together. Super easy to whip up, it’s the kind of snack that has everyone huddling around the table for another scoop.
Refried Beans: You can make your own using my recipe here. You can substitute this with black beans or pinto beans mashed to a similar consistency. Avocados: They’re mashed to create the creamy guacamole layer. If you can’t find avocados, substitute with store-bought guacamole or a creamy pea puree. Lime Juice: Adds a fresh zing to the guacamole. You can use lemon juice as an alternative. Salt and Pepper: Feel free to adjust the amounts to taste. Sour Cream: Provides a cool, creamy layer. You can substitute this with Greek yogurt for a healthier option. Taco Seasoning: Gives a spicy kick to the sour cream. If you don’t have any, make your own using my recipe here. Salsa: Adds a juicy, tangy layer. Any type of salsa works here, or you can make your own salsa. Cheddar Cheese: You can substitute this with any shredded cheese you prefer, like Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend. Black Olives: They add a salty, briny touch. If you’re not a fan of olives, you can leave them out or replace them with jalapeños for a spicy kick. Green Onions: Chives or red onions can be used as substitutes. Tortilla Chips: For dipping. Pita chips or vegetable sticks can also be great alternatives.
Hey, you’re going to love how easy this 7 Layer Dip is to whip up! It’s the perfect dish for when you have friends over or just need a tasty snack. First up, grab your serving dish and spread the refried beans all over the bottom. Next, let’s get that guacamole ready. Mash up your avocados and mix them with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Once it’s nice and creamy, layer it right over the beans. Now, mix your sour cream with the taco seasoning for that extra bit of spice. Spread this mixture over the guacamole. Then, carefully spoon your salsa over the sour cream layer. Try to spread it evenly – it’s like adding a juicy burst of flavor. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa. Now, scatter those sliced black olives and chopped green onions over the cheese. They add the perfect finishing touch with their fresh crunch. Grab a bag of tortilla chips and dive in. This dip is best enjoyed shared, so call over your friends and start dipping!

7 Layer Dip
It doesn’t get much better than dipping a single chip into a dip that gives you 7 distinct layers of flavor.
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Combine refried beans, taco seasoning, sour cream, and cream cheese. Spread on the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. Top with guacamole, sour cream, drained salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce, and black olives. Chill for 1 hour and serve with tortilla chips.
Pro Tips
Drain the liquid from the salsa to prevent it from bleeding down through the other layers. You can save the salsa liquid and add 2 TBS of it to the refried beans to loosen them up a bit as well! Layer the guacamole in the middle: Spread it over the refried beans and top it with remaining layers to preserve it’s green color. Green Onions can be used instead of lettuce. Diced tomatoes can be used instead of black olives if preferred.
Storage
Store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. The layers may bleed together a bit and I don’t recommend making it ahead to serve 3 days later, but the leftovers still taste great.
