7 Layer Dip

It's football season!  You have to know how to make a good 7 Layer Dip during football season.  This is how I make it, no tomatoes, no lettuce, that's for tacos, not DIP.  

Ingredients:

• 1 can of refried beans (black or pinto)
• 1 pack of Taco Seasoning
• 1 (8oz.)  Guacamole (1 C.)
• 1 (8oz.) sour cream (1 C.)
• 1 (8oz.) salsa (1 C.)
• 1 bag of Mexican finely shredded cheese (2 C.)
• ½ jar of Jalapeño slices
• 1 (2oz.) sliced black olives

Directions:

1. Combine the beans and taco seasoning in a bowl and mix well
2. In a 13x9x 2 dish, spread the bean mixture to cover the bottom of the dish
3. Layer each of the other ingredients, in order, to create the 7 layers
4. Refrigerate for several hours before serving
5. Serve with tortilla chips

Tips and Tricks:

• Do not try to serve this dip with Tostitos Scoops.  You need a chip that has a flat edge to scrap the dip up and out of the dish.
• I don’t recommend using light sour cream for this recipe.  To create the 7 layers you need the consistency of the full leaded sour cream.
• I like to make my own guacamole, but for this recipe save yourself the time, it’s not necessary.
