  7-Layer Taco Dip Recipe

  Ingredients

• 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning mix
• 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (16 oz) container sour cream
• 1 cup guacamole
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 2–3 green onions, sliced

  Directions

1. Mix the beans: In a bowl, combine the refried beans with half of the taco seasoning mix. Spread this mixture evenly on the bottom of your serving dish.
2. Prepare the creamy layer: In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and remaining taco seasoning. Spread over the bean layer.
3. Add the guacamole: Spread a smooth, even layer of guacamole over the creamy layer.
4. Add the salsa: Spoon the salsa on top and gently spread without mixing layers.
5. Top with lettuce and cheese: Sprinkle shredded lettuce followed by shredded cheese.
6. Final toppings: Add diced tomatoes, black olives, and sliced green onions.
7. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving so the layers set well. Serve with tortilla chips!
