A quick and easy seven-layer taco dip featuring fresh guacamole that adds brightness and creaminess, perfect for parties or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refried beans
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • 3 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) finely diced red onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (250 ml) salsa (mild or medium-spicy)
  • 1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (35 g) sliced black olives
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Stir in diced tomato, chopped cilantro, lime juice, red onion, salt, and pepper. Let flavors mingle for about 10 minutes.
  2. Spread the entire can of refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch serving dish, smoothing to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  3. Spoon the sour cream over the beans, spreading gently to cover completely without mixing layers.
  4. Evenly distribute the salsa over the sour cream layer, draining excess liquid if needed.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salsa layer.
  6. Spoon the fresh guacamole over the cheese layer, spreading carefully to keep layers intact.
  7. Garnish with sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and optional jalapeños.
  8. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to let layers set.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for best guacamole flavor and texture. Drain salsa if watery to prevent sogginess. Cover guacamole layer tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and layers set. Can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead.
