Ingredients

Scale

Bean Layer

  • 1 can refried beans (16 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Guacamole Layer

  • 3/4 cup guacamole

Toppings

  • 2 cups sharp shredded cheese
  • 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 3 green onions, diced

Instructions

  1. Season the beans: Pour the refried beans into a bowl and add the taco seasoning. Mix well to combine the flavors evenly throughout the beans.
  2. Layer the beans: Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly into a deep dish pie plate or an 8×8 inch pan as the base layer of your 7 layer dip.
  3. Create cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy. Then spread this mixture evenly over the bean layer.
  4. Add guacamole layer: Spread the guacamole over the cream cheese layer, covering it as evenly as possible, though some gaps are fine.
  5. Top with cheese and veggies: Sprinkle the sharp shredded cheese evenly over the guacamole. Then top with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and diced green onions for color and freshness.
  6. Chill and serve: Cover the layered dip and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for creaminess.
  • You can add extra layers such as salsa or jalapeños for more spice.
  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Substitute black olives with sliced green olives if preferred.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
