What Are the 7 Layers?

  • refried beans
  • avocados
  • sour cream/shredded cheese/seasoning
  • black olives
  • chopped tomatoes
  • chopped jalapenos
  • chopped oninons

To be fair, I kinda cheat – it’s not technically seven layers because I totally use a delicious Pico De Gallo to combine the Tomatoes, Jalapenos and Onions. Yum!

But this step is not necessary, and could also be replaced by a nice chunky salsa as well.

  2. I love 7 layer dip so much, it makes me want to just grab a spoon and dig in even without the tortilla chips. 🙂

  18. 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

  25. 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.

  32. 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.

  33. 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!
