Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean workspace. Ensure you have the following: 1 can of refried beans, 1 cup of guacamole, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of sliced black olives, 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes.
- Select a large, shallow serving dish or a glass baking dish to showcase the layers of the dip. A clear dish works best to display the colorful layers.
- Start by spreading the refried beans evenly at the bottom of the dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even layer.
- Next, carefully spread the guacamole over the refried beans, ensuring that it covers the beans completely. You can use a spoon or spatula to help achieve an even layer.
- After the guacamole, add a layer of sour cream. Gently spoon the sour cream over the guacamole and spread it out evenly without mixing the layers.
- Pour the salsa over the sour cream layer. Use a spoon to distribute it evenly, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the salsa layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed for a delightful cheesy flavor.
- Next, add the sliced black olives on top of the cheese layer. Spread them out evenly to add a nice contrast in flavor and color.
- Then, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the olives. This will add a fresh crunch and vibrant color to your dip.
- Finally, top the dip with the diced tomatoes. Distribute them evenly for a fresh finish.
- Once all layers are assembled, cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to serve, remove the dip from the refrigerator and place it on the table with a side of tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy your Ultimate Seven Layer Dip!
Tips
- Layer with Care: To achieve those stunning layers, use a spatula to spread each ingredient evenly without mixing them. This will not only enhance the presentation but also ensure that each bite is full of flavor.
- Choose the Right Dish: A clear glass baking dish or a large, shallow serving bowl works best to showcase the colorful layers of the dip. The visual appeal is just as important as the taste!
- Chill for Flavor: After assembling your dip, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, making each bite even more delicious.
- Customize Your Layers: Feel free to get creative! Add layers of corn, jalapeños, or even diced avocado for an extra twist. Tailor the dip to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Serve with Style: Pair your Ultimate Seven Layer Dip with a variety of tortilla chips, pita chips, or even fresh veggies for dipping. This not only adds to the fun but also caters to different tastes!
