Layer Taco Dip is a no-bake, crowd-pleasing appetizer with stacked layers of refried beans, seasoned sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and fresh toppings. Served cold with tortilla chips, it’s perfect for parties and potlucks.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 3/4 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped lettuce (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Jalapeño slices (optional for heat)
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and taco seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Spread refried beans evenly on the bottom of a shallow serving dish (like a 9×13-inch pan).
  3. Layer the seasoned sour cream over the beans and spread evenly.
  4. Add a layer of guacamole, followed by the salsa or pico de gallo.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the salsa layer.
  6. Top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and optional toppings like lettuce, cilantro, or jalapeños.
  7. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set (optional but recommended).
  8. Serve cold with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Use thick salsa or chunky pico de gallo to avoid watery layers.
  • Prepare up to a day ahead, but add salsa and tomatoes just before serving.
  • For a vegetarian dip, ensure refried beans are lard-free.
  • Squeeze lime over guacamole to help prevent browning.
  • Serve in a clear dish to showcase colorful layers.
