Individual 7 Layer Dips


This is a quick, fun recipe for any occasion! I made these for my brother's Super Bowl party, and they were a big hit. All the flavor of 7 layer dip with less mess, and no double dipping :)

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans (I used spicy refried beans)
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 cup guacamole (I used 2 avocados and a packet of spicy guacamole mix)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup chunky salsa
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 bunch of green onions, sliced
9 ounce plastic tumblers
tortilla chips

Directions:

In a small bowl mix taco seasoning with refried beans. Some people prefer to mix their taco seasoning with the sour cream layer but I wanted a bright white layer so I did it with the beans.

Here's how the layers are assembled:
Layer 1: beans and taco seasoning
Layer 2: sour cream
Layer 3: guacamole
Layer 4: salsa
Layer 5: cheese
Layer 6: tomatoes
Layer 7: green onions

In each plastic glass, layer about 2 Tbsp of the beans, followed by 2 Tbsp of sour cream, 2 Tbsp of guacamole, 2 Tbsp of salsa or pico de gallo, 2 Tbsp of cheese, and 2 tbsp of salsa. Then top with about 1-2 teaspoons of tomatoes and green onion (If you're making these ahead of time, wait to add these toppings until shortly before serving).

Store in the refrigerator until serving and serve with chips. Makes 8 individual dips.
