A nostalgic and delicious seven layer dip perfect for retro party snack tables, featuring fresh homemade guacamole, seasoned beans, and vibrant layers that stay distinct and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 1 cup fresh guacamole (mashed avocado with lime juice, salt, and garlic powder)
  • 1 cup plain full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup medium-spicy salsa (drained of excess liquid)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 2 stalks chopped green onions
  • Jalapeño slices (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Open and stir the refried beans, then spread evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
  2. Mash ripe avocados with lime juice, salt, and garlic powder to make guacamole. Spread gently over the beans without mixing layers.
  3. Dollop and spread sour cream evenly over the guacamole layer.
  4. Drain excess liquid from salsa and spread gently over the sour cream.
  5. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the salsa layer.
  6. Top with chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and jalapeño slices if desired.

Notes

[‘Keep layers distinct by spreading gently with a rubber spatula.’, ‘Drain salsa well to avoid watery or soggy layers.’, ‘Use fresh homemade guacamole for best flavor.’, ‘Sharp cheddar cheese adds better flavor than mild.’, ‘Prepare first five layers up to 6 hours ahead; add fresh toppings just before serving.’, ‘Serve chilled with sturdy tortilla chips.’, ‘Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; do not freeze.’]
