Easy 7 Layer Dip Recipe

Instructions

• Combine the refried beans, Rotel tomatoes, and taco seasoning.  Spread the mixture in a 7 x 11-inch casserole dish.
• Mash the avocado.  Mix in the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, onion powder, salt, and cayenne.  Spread it over the bean layer.
• Carefully spread the sour cream over the avocado layer.  Top it with the finely shredded cheese, black olives, tomatoes, and green onions.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

• For a change of taste, add a layer of salsa or a bit of salsa to the sour cream layer.
• Make it a main meal and add a layer of cooked, seasoned ground beef.
• Any shredded Mexican-style cheese will work, including sharp cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack, Monterey Jack, or Asadero cheese.
• For ultimate flavor, use fresh, not dried, cilantro.
• Try different toppings like shredded lettuce, pickled jalapenos, Pico de Gallo, blackened corn, or diced bell peppers.
• For a healthier option, substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
