A quick and easy seven-layer taco dip perfect for pool parties and casual get-togethers, featuring creamy, zesty, and fresh layers that everyone loves.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans, preferably smooth style
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat (Greek yogurt can be used as substitute)
  • 1 cup guacamole (about 2 ripe avocados mashed)
  • 1 cup chunky salsa, mild or medium heat
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, stir 1 tsp ground cumin into the refried beans. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish. (5 minutes)
  2. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream with ½ tsp chili powder and a pinch of salt. Stir well and spread over the bean layer carefully. (3 minutes)
  3. Mash ripe avocados with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Spread gently over the sour cream layer. (5 minutes)
  4. Spoon salsa evenly over the guacamole. Drain excess liquid if salsa is watery. (2 minutes)
  5. Mix shredded sharp cheddar with Monterey Jack and sprinkle evenly on top of the salsa. (2 minutes)
  6. Scatter sliced black olives, chopped jalapeños (if using), and green onions on the cheese layer. (3 minutes)
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. (Optional but recommended)

Notes

Use a gentle hand when spreading layers to keep them distinct. Drain watery salsa to prevent sogginess. Substitute dairy-free sour cream and cheese for a vegan version. Serve with sturdy tortilla chips for best scooping experience. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
