This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. I don’t snack and eat like I’m living through the world’s longest cocktail party every day, even if I want to. Thankfully, I know that I should eat well-balanced meals. If I could, I’d probably eat taco dip and jalapeno poppers and chili cheese dip and a whole slew of other small plates, and that’s about it. Is it bad that I am pretty happy eating appetizers? Add a jalapeno to make it a spicy bean dip recipe. It has just the right amount of cheese, green onions and cream cheese. Either way, your Mexican dip should last for up to 5 days! Keep in mind that your guacamole will begin to brown, but if it’s fully covered by the other ingredients, like sour cream, it will stay greener longer.This creamy slow cooker refried bean d ip is the perfect game day party appetizer. You can also store the dip in an airtight container. I like to preserve the layers of this easy 7-layer dip, so I usually just cover the dish with plastic wrap then put my leftovers in the fridge. On a few occasions, I’ve added pickled red onions, fresh or pickled jalapeños, fresh cilantro, queso and salsa verde to my 7+ layer dip! So many flavor combinations taste amazing together. Add even more toppings! You do you - if 7 layers are not enough, pile on your favorite toppings to your heart’s desire.Although this step is not required, it definitely adds extra flavors and can be an easy, more subtle way to add some heat to the recipe. Some prefer to add seasoned ground beef with the beans for the base layer of the dip. Plus, my tortilla chips recipe will only add 3 ingredients and 30 minutes to your kitchen time - totally worth it!

They taste amazing and are a little thicker than your general store-bought brand, which makes them perfect for loading up with all 7 layers of your Mexican dip. If you have the time, I would definitely recommend making your own homemade tortilla chips. Finally, it’s time to enjoy your delicious dip! Serve with tortilla chips or veggies for dipping, or if you’re not eating it right away, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Top with cilantro or green onions and shredded Mexican cheese. Next top with guacamole, salsa, shredded lettuce, red onions, diced tomatoes and black olives.Spread the refried bean mixture onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.Sometimes, I like to add in some drained and rinsed black beans, as well for a different texture! Combine beans and seasoning: First, start by combining refried beans and taco seasoning in a small bowl.Red Onions: If the taste of raw red onion is too strong for you, soak the onion in water for 30 minutes to help soften the flavors.Green Onions: Adds the perfect touch of color! You can swap out fresh cilantro if you have that on hand.Tomatoes: I prefer to use Roma or grape tomatoes in this recipe.Black Olives: If you don’t like olives, swap them out with pickled jalapeños or fresh cilantro.Mexican Cheese: I like to use a blend of shredded Mexican Cheese, but shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey jack would be amazing as well!.Lettuce: I like to use shredded romaine lettuce, but butter lettuce or iceberg would also work.Salsa: Jarred or fresh salsa work - I love making fresh Pico De Gallo and adding it to the dip.

Guacamole: My Spicy Chipotle Guacamole or Healthy Greek Yogurt Guacamole are both great options! You can also use store bought guacamole to save on time.Sour Cream: For a lower calorie version, substitute half of the sour cream for greek yogurt.Taco Seasoning: You can make your own taco seasoning at home or use a pre-made packet.Refried beans: Use store bought or try my homemade Refried Black Bean Recipe.Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry or any grocery store isle, but you can also make your own fresh guacamole, homemade pico de gallo and homemade tortilla chips to customize your recipe even more.Įither way, this 7-layer bean dip is a guaranteed crowd pleaser and instant family favorite! The great part about this dip is that it can be as store-bought or homemade as you prefer. Trust me when I tell you to buy solid, sturdy tortilla chips to scoop all of the delicious goodness. Packed with your favorite Mexican ingredients, this dip starts with refried beans mixed with taco seasoning and is then layered with guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, black olives, tomatoes and green onions. It’s super easy to make, travels well, and everyone loves it! This Easy 7 Layer Bean Dip is always my go to appetizer to bring to parties, get togethers, or game days.
