It was always a crowd pleaser.įlash forward a few decades to last week – I found myself with the decision of what to make for my daughter’s year-end preschool potluck. 435 g refried beans 1 avocado mashed 1 tbs lemon juice to taste 1 tsp garlic to taste 1 tsp chilli to taste 375 g chunky tomato salsa 1 cup sour cream. I don’t remember whether I was the one who always requested it (I imagine I was) or if it was just my mom’s standby dish, but I do remember watching my mom assemble all of those yummy layers quite often. Half the fun is digging deep through the layers with your tortilla chip, all the way down to the beans, to create the perfect bite with a little of everything on it. The seven layers, in case you’re not familiar with this great dip, are: refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, black olives and cheddar cheese (there’s sometimes a little variation, but generally you see most of these ingredients). I can’t tell you how many times I brought a 7-layer dip to school potlucks or scout meetings when I was growing up. First up: a personal favorite of mine, 7-Layer Dip. If you love this easy dip make sure to try our 5 Layer Greek Dip too! Layers of Hummus, tzatziki, and chopped veggies.I hit the mother lode…on the back of a bag of tortilla chips.Ī whole menu of fabulous Mexican and southwestern party dips is printed on the Mission Tortilla Strips bag! With lots of celebrations and family gatherings coming up this time of year I’m declaring this week Dip Week on Cooking On the Side and making a few of the recipes to share on the blog.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Just make sure you drain the excess juice off before adding to the dip. You can also use a pico de gallo or chunky salsa if you prefer. Add a layer of shredded cheese over the sour cream. Spread a layer of sour cream over the guacamole. If you’re making your own add a little extra lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to pack in some extra flavor. Spread the refried beans in the bottom of a 13” x 9 “ casserole dish. Just a tip, if you’re scaling this recipe up, I would add the usual amount of taco seasoning to the refried beans and then continue to add taco seasoning as needed, until you reach the taste you desire. This gives the dip a boost of Mexican flavor. In a small bowl stir together the refried beans and taco seasoning. So don’t hesitate to make this dip your own by adding and changing things based on what you like best. You can also make it with taco meat (ground beef and taco seasoning) if you like!Īny way you make it will be delicious, and I promise it will disappear quickly at parties. In this recipe you mix the refried beans with taco seasoning but I have also had a version where you mix the sour cream and taco seasoning. You could even land somewhere in between and make a fresh pico de gallo for your tomato layer. I make mine with guacamole and fresh tomatoes, but my mom makes hers with shredded lettuce and a layer of salsa. I’m giving you the traditional recipe today, but one of the things I love most about this is that there is no wrong way to do it.
