The main food groups are there. Veggies, dairy, beans, grains, more veggies.
And the dippers! Great with nachos, pita chips, fritos, just about anything.
Are you a dipper?
Come on, now and be honest.
Seven Layer Taco Dip
I’ll even go first.
I am a dipper from WAY back!
It all started with warm homemade cookies.
Then Oreos, separated of course.
Moved on up to donuts, toast with my hot chocolate.
Now veggies and snacks are all fair game!
I think dipping is a comfort action.
When I am cold, sick, depressed, or lonely, I still dip my grilled cheese in a mug of steaming tomato soup.
I have recently developed an insatiable appetite for Mexican fare. I just can’t get enough.
I think this Seven Layer Taco Dip has probably appeared on every appetizer tray, cocktail table or bake sale at one time or another.
Not only is this dip easy, but it is healthy too.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 1 1 ounce package taco seasoning mix
- 1 16 ounce can refried beans
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 16 ounce container sour cream
- 1 16 ounce jar salsa
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 bunch chopped green onions
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 6 ounce can sliced black olives, drained
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- Jalapeno and chilies optional
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- In a medium bowl, blend the taco seasoning mix and refried beans. Spread the mixture onto a large serving platter.
- Mix the sour cream and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Spread over the refried beans.
- Top the layers with salsa. Place a layer of tomato, green bell pepper, green onions and lettuce over the salsa, and top with Cheddar cheese. Garnish with black olives.
I have made it for movie watching when I don’t have enough veggie leftovers to create anything else.
If I get unexpected guests this Seven Layer Taco Dip can be ready in just a few minutes.
All the ingredients go well together. They can be used to make tacos, nachos, burritos, or just top off a taco shell for a salad.
My family will gather around to watch a movie or play a game just to gobble up this dish.
It is not only inexpensive to make but easy too.
The hardest part is deciding what you want to add to the mix.

This looks good– I love Mexican food, too. We’ve been eating soft tacos all week here— I like dips, too. Cookies and milk, and all the other kinds— chips with nacho cheese. It is hard to find a good nacho cheese…..

Thanks Denise. I am glad it appeals to you. I love how you can add and change ingredients easily to fit your own taste. Enjoy your week!
what a great recipe for the start of the football-watching season. I love mindless dipping. My favorite comfort dip is graham crackers in milk. When I have a glass of wine in hand, my favorite is veggies in hummus.
thanks for the recipe

That is funny. I do graham crackers and milk at night when I snack! Veggies and hummus make a great lunch too. Have a lovely day!
I am definitely a dipper! We love 7 layer dip here. Thanks for the recipe.
I am a dipper too. This one comes before french onion chip dip. That is saying a lot! Have a lovely day!
This dip sounds delish! I would probably add some chopped jalapenos, but that’s just me because I like my dips spicy.
I’ll be tweeting and pinning this! Greetings from the Inspire Me Monday linky.
I sometimes add different ingredient also. spicy is good, chic peas, guac, banana peppers. Go wild and enjoy. Thanks for all the social shares.
We make this seven layer dip all the time. Looks just like mine. Found you on Grandma’s Briefs Link Party.
I bet there are no leftovers, either. Nothing better than this dip for a crowd. Have a great evening.
And now I want some chips!! A perfect party dip – Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
I just love this dip. I haven’t met a person that doesn;t. You can add or take away any ingredient and still have the best dip in the world! Enjoy your day Helen!
I have not made this in a long time and misplaced my recipe. I can’t wait to make this as soon as I have an opportunity!
I am glad I could help you with the recipe. You will enjoy this. Enjoy a lovely day!
