7 Layers of Delectable

| 16 Comments

I need a glass dish so you can see stuff like layers

Look, it's not a baked good! But don't worry- it still has plenty of tasty calories.
I whipped this together last week to take along to a free outdoor movie in the park thing. I swear it tastes even better when eaten outside sitting on a blanket. :)

Seven Layer Bean Dip

  • 1 can refried beans (I used black bean vegetarian)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2-3 medium ripe avocados, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2-1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 (3 ounce) can black olives (sliced or chopped)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded cheddar (or Mexican style) cheese

I dislike washing a bunch of bowls. So I just mix one layer in a mixing bowl then spread it in the serving dish, rinse the bowl and repeat. (Note: the picture above is of a halved version of this recipe)

Mix refried beans, salsa and 1/4 cup sour cream. Spread as bottom layer in serving dish.
Mix avocados, lemon juice, salt and pepper and layer in dish.
Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and taco seasoning mix and layer in dish.
Sprinkle with most of the tomatoes, onions then olives reserving some for top garnish.
Sprinkle cheese on top.
Garnish with remaining tomatoes, onions and olives.
If time allows, cover and chill for a few hours in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.

Serve with tortilla chips and preferably a bucket of Corona.

mmm - the perfect picnic food!!!!!

Yummy! I love dip, I could eat it as a meal!

omg. one of the things i really miss about texas is the food. thanks for this one. i know what i'll be making this weekend!

Yummy! I'm a big fan of 7 Layer Dip. In the recent Cook's Country magazine, they redid this recipe and made it sound even more fantastic. You might be spurring me on to snack!

I have to try that recipe. That looks really good and it'll be perfect for the vegetarian SO. =)

I have had this type of thing before and it's to die for. I'm weird though, I'm not a fan of olives. Congratulations on the Scarlet Woman Tank and the Sexy Knitters you must still be flying. Well deserved!

Heya!

I love olives! I'll have to try this recipe - I've had something similar, but not this version!

You are making me very hungry.

Yummy, yummy! Including the black olives!

Oh yum! Now I'm hungry...

That looks so good. Love black olives! Gotta have 'em!

So good, nothing says party like 7 layer dip.

Sounds very tasty! Good for hot weather eating.

Hi! I recently discovered your blog, and also submitted your knitted wrist rest for the mouse/mousepad while surfing free pattern link to CRAFT magazine's blog, and they've just featured this, with a picture, blurb, and link to your pattern page for it.

I thought it was cool. 8^D

Don't make me break my diet... hey, actually it *is* diet food - lucky me!

Nice post mate
