Do you have a sombrero? No? Me either, but I wish I did this week so I could stick it on my head and be a bit more festive for this week’s #SundaySupper event. I’m so excited that Heather from girlichef is hosting this week and her event centers around DÃa de Independencia, or Mexican Independence Day. What a fun event to celebrate – grab the salsa and chips and a big ‘ole Margarita (and that Sombrero I’m wishing I had) and we’re almost ready.
Wait, almost? Yes almost. Because when you see the amazing line up of recipes for this Mexican Fiesta event, you’ll understand that the food is an integral part. In fact, the whole #SundaySupper team has been taunting me for the past few days posting spoiler pics for some amazing recipes that are coming right up.
I chose an easy 7 Layer Dip for today because, well, who really doesn’t love a good layer dip? And besides, isn’t it pretty? I just like staring at it. It’s so inviting. It’s calling to me. In fact, I’m seriously wondering if we have any more chips left because … dude I’m suddenly hungry…
I have a little confession – I already have a layer dip on my blog. It’s a 5 layer dip. It’s a 5 layer clean eating dip. So if you’re into clean eating, you’ll probably love it. It’s pretty great actually. But… it’s not as flavorful as the 7 Layer Dip. Oh, and the 7 Layer Dip? Totally NOT clean eating. Totally amazingly good though so don’t worry about that. And kinda not 7 layers technically because I totally use a delicious Pico De Gallo to combine the Tomatoes, Jalapenos and Onions. Yum!
Ingredients
- 1 can of refried beans
- 1 cup of Pico De Gallo
- 3 avocados, diced
- 1 16 ounce container of sour cream
- 1 packet of taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 can of black olives, sliced
Instructions
Select a thin dish (pie plates work perfectly).
Pour the taco seasoning mix into the sour cream and blend well.
Layer the ingredients in the bottom of the pie plate in the order they appear in the recipe.
If you double or triple the recipe, you can use a big trifle bowl like I did.
Serve & Enjoy!

I try to practice clean eating as much as possible but I’ll totally break that streak for this amazingness here! And I’ve always wanted to make a 7-layer dip too!
I love 7 layer dip so much, it makes me want to just grab a spoon and dig in even without the tortilla chips.
This is fast and so mouthwatering! It would probably be my whole meal. And I suspect eating this is a wonderful mess!
We make this at work for Cinco de Mayo its always a hit!
Wow, gorgeous dip! I love that you made it in a trifle bowl…just stunning. Happy #SundaySupper~
I love 7-layer dip. This looks muy delicioso!
Wow – what a pretty dip! All the layers look delish…thanks for sharing!
I could eat that whole thing all by myself. Yes, I’m totally serious.
7 layer dip is one of my brothers favorites! I love it in the glass trifle!
Love the idea of serving in a trifle dish! I don’t use mine enough and this is such a gorgeous presentation.
I can hear this 7-Layer Dip calling my name too! Love the combination of all the flavors.
This dip looks gorgeous and it is also calling my name
The presentation is fantastic.
I love seven layer dips and this one looks fabulous!!
Excuse me while I dive into this great big dip and eat my way out.
I’ve seen a lot of 7-layer dips, but not one has been served in a trifle bowl. Brilliant! Heading over to check out your 5-layer dip too.
Fast, healthy and delish! Just like I like it!
Beautiful and delicious – what a combo! Love it, Nicole!
I see 7 layer dip all the time, except yours is better because you can actually see everything
I don’t have a sombrero, and Murray is probably happy because you bet I would be taking his picture LOL
Oh my dip!!! WOW. I heart Dips Momma!
We love 7 layer dip and serve it at almost every party and family get together!
ooh yum! my sister used to make something similar called a walking taco–haven’t had that in ages!
Nicole, I love 7 layer dip! If it is at a party I will not leave the snack table. Looks delicious!
My MIL makes a 7 layer dip, and I haven’t had it for years! Looks great!
I’m lovin’ all those beautiful layers!! YUMMMMMY!!
This looks amazing and I laughed when you talked about the sombrero because I own 3 and I didn’t even think to pull one of therm out. But I’m still learning.
Oh my gosh this is incredible. I must try this one out when I have my sis in law over. She loves these types of dips. Stunning and perfect for Sunday Supper.
Me, my sombrero, and my bag of chips are SO ready for this dip!! YUMMY.
I love 7 layer dip! I make it for every football party. Your’s is beautiful.
Yummy! I love all the layering in this dip. Tons of flavor in one dish. Love it!

Gorgeous! I love this dip it’s always so pretty and tastes amazing!
this dip looks amazing and so the does the photography. I have tried a 5 layer but I am really to take it up a notch to 7 layer! Thanks for sharing during #sundaysupper
You are correct! Everybody loves a good layered dip. I love the colors and the layering of all flavors I love. I love Mexican food.
Thank you so much Sarah!
I love that you chopped up the avocado instead of making guacamole with it. Just brings a new range of textures to the dip that you wouldn’t normally get! Plus, you’ve piled all the stuff I like on top and left what I didn’t (the beans) on the bottom! My type of dip!
Oh, my. Well, I need a bag of chips and to be alone with this bowl.
I have always drooled over this stuff & wondered how they make it. You make it seem so simple & your version is the best ! Maybe I’ll pick up courage to make this sometime soon :0)
