there are a lot of variations on layered dips out there, but this recipe is my favorite. not only is it very simple to prep and put together, but it requires only a few basic ingredients, everyone loves it, and it feeds a crowd! (you can also try this simple 3 ingredient homemade guacamole if you’re in the mood for another type of dip!)
it really only requires you to open a can or package, chop some tomatoes, slice some scallions, grate some cheddar cheese, and then layer everything in a baking dish. it doesn’t get much easier than that!
the seven layers of this dip are these:
1. 1 can refried beans
2. 1 package guacamole
3. 1 x 16oz carton sour cream, mixed with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
4. 1-2 cups grated cheddar cheese
5. 1-2 chopped roma tomatoes
6. 1 small can sliced black olives
7. 3-4 scallions, thinly sliced
just layer those ingredients in that order in a 9×9 (the layers will be thicker) or a 9×13 glass pan/baking dish. even a pie plate would work! serve with tortilla chips, and you’ve got a dip that will be gone in no time!
here’s the really easy recipe that is perfect for parties and get-togethers, or just a fun weekend snack for the family to munch on!
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 package guacamole
- 1 16oz carton sour cream + 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 small can sliced black olives, drained
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- mix together the sour cream and taco seasoning and set aside. in a 9x9" or 9x13" glass dish, layer the refried beans, guacamole, sour cream mixture. sprinkle on grated cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, black olives, and sliced scallions (green onions).
- serve with tortilla chips, and enjoy!

February 7, 2013 at 5:25 pmHey Katie what size carton of sour cream there is the little one 250 ml and then there is the 500 ml. I am assuming you mean the bigger of the two. Too be honest I am guessing those are the sizes since I don’t have one handy and I am too lazy to go and look in the fridge!! LOL I figure you know what I am talking about!!! 🙂 Have a great day and keep up the amazing work on your blog!
Katie says
February 7, 2013 at 8:43 pmHi Michelle! Yes, you’re right. It would be the 500 ml (16oz here in the US). Sorry about that! I’ll update that in the post. Thanks! You have a great day, too 🙂

February 8, 2013 at 2:35 pmThis is our go-to appetizer. My husband asks for it whenever he feels like eating something munchy and I always get lots of compliments when I take it to parties! So good!

February 18, 2013 at 9:48 amLove this! The one I make takes cream cheese and you mix it with the sour cream and taco seasoning to make it extra creamy. I also use lettuce (because it used to be a really cheap ingredient, but it’s not really that cheap any longer)
