Individual Seven Layer Dips

These were super easy to make and were a big hit at a recent party.  These are perfect for parties because everyone has their own little serving.   I found the recipe at the Girl Who Ate Everything site.  http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/

Ingredients:

 

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning

1 cup guacamole or make homemade guacamole

1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

1 cup chunky salsa or pico de gallo; or make homemade pico de gallo 

1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

2 Roma tomatoes, diced

1/2 bunch of green onions, sliced

1 (2.25 ounce) can of sliced olives, drained

8 (9 ounce) plastic tumblers

Tortilla chips

 

Directions:

 

Heat a non-stick skillet.  Add the beans to warm through.  Add the taco seasoning and a little bit of water.  Cook until warm and the seasoning has thoroughly dissolved.

 

Here's how the layers are assembled:

 

Layer 1: beans and taco seasoning; Layer 2: sour cream; Layer 3: guacamole; Layer 4: salsa or pico de gallo; Layer 5: cheese; Layer 6: tomatoes; Layer 7: green onions and olives

 

In each plastic glass, layer about 2 Tablespoons of the beans, followed by 2 Tablespoons of sour cream, 2 Tablespoons of guacamole, 2 Tablespoons of salsa or pico de gallo, and 2 Tablespoons of cheese.

 

Make sure you drain your salsa or pico to get the excess liquid out before you pour it on. Then top with about 1-2 teaspoons of tomatoes, olives, and green onion (If making ahead of time, wait to add these toppings until shortly before serving).

 

Garnish with one tortilla chip. Store in the refrigerator until serving and serve with chips. Makes around 8 individual dips.

 

Note: All measurements are approximate. Depending on whether you want thicker or thinner layers you will need more or less.
