Layer upon layer of flavorful ingredients not only look beautiful but taste delicious too. This 7 Layer Mexican Dip Recipe is a huge hit at any party I make it for.
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 Día de Independencia, or Mexican Independence Day. What a fun event to celebrate – grab this 7 Layer Mexican Dip and some 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 Mexican 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 Mexican Dip Recipe. Oh, and the 7 Layer Mexican 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!
7 Layer Dip for Mexican Fiesta
Ingredients
- 1 can of refried beans

- 1 16 ounce container of sour cream
- 1 packet of taco seasoning mix

Pour the taco seasoning mix into the sour cream and blend well.

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!
Laura Hunter says
I love 7 layer dip so much, it makes me want to just grab a spoon and dig in even without the tortilla chips. 🙂
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen says
This is fast and so mouthwatering! It would probably be my whole meal. And I suspect eating this is a wonderful mess!
Cindys Recipes and Writings says
We make this at work for Cinco de Mayo its always a hit!

Excuse me while I dive into this great big dip and eat my way out.
diabeticFoodie says
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.
Veronica Gantley says
Fast, healthy and delish! Just like I like it!
Pam @ The Meltaways says
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
Tammi @ Momma's Meals says
Oh my dip!!! WOW. I heart Dips Momma!
Arlene @FlourOnMyFace says

My MIL makes a 7 layer dip, and I haven’t had it for years! Looks great!
Brandie (@ Home Cooking Memories) says
I’m lovin’ all those beautiful layers!! YUMMMMMY!!
Sheila Fretz (@CookUnderwriter) says
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.
Kim Bee says
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.

Jamie @ http://www.mamamommymom.com
Hezzi-D says
Gorgeous! I love this dip it’s always so pretty and tastes amazing!
Family Foodie says
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
Sarah says
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.
Nicole Humphrey Cook says
Thank you so much Sarah! 🙂
Susan says
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!
Anita at Hungry Couple says
Oh, my. Well, I need a bag of chips and to be alone with this bowl. 🙂
Sunithi says
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)
