- Follow in the same manner with the guacamole, sour cream, olives, red onion, and salsa.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can assemble these 7 layer dip cups ahead of time, if necessary, up to 24 hours in advance. I would spoon on the top layer and garnish just before serving, though, for best presentation. The guacamole is well insulated in the center of the layers, so it should stay nice and bright.
- Sturdy tortilla chips work best for this appetizer, thin chips won't be able to scoop through the layers without breaking.
