Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean workspace. This will help streamline the assembly of your individual seven layer dip.
- Prepare four small cups or bowls for serving. Clear glass or plastic cups work best as they allow the layers to be visible.
- Start by adding 1/4 cup of refried beans to the bottom of each cup. Use a spoon to spread the beans evenly across the base.
- Next, layer 1/4 cup of guacamole on top of the refried beans in each cup. Gently spread the guacamole to create an even layer, being careful not to mix it with the beans.
- Add 1/4 cup of sour cream on top of the guacamole in each cup. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to create a smooth layer.
- Pour 1/4 cup of salsa over the sour cream in each cup. Allow the salsa to sit gently on top without mixing it with the sour cream.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top of the salsa in each cup. You can use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack for added flavor and color.
- Evenly distribute 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions on top of the cheese layer in each cup for a fresh and crunchy element.
- Finally, add a tablespoon of sliced black olives on top of the green onions in each cup for a savory finish.
- Once all layers are assembled, you can garnish with additional green onions or olives if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
- Enjoy your individual seven layer dip with tortilla chips or as a standalone appetizer!
