7 Layer Dip Cups
Description
This recipe simplifies the classic layered dip by portioning it into clear party cups, which makes serving and sharing straightforward. The dip begins with seasoned refried beans providing a smooth, hearty foundation, followed by creamy guacamole and sour cream layers that balance richness with freshness. Salsa adds brightness and slight acidity, while shredded cheddar cheese offers a sharp, melty topping. The fresh garnishes of green onions, cilantro, tomato, and olives add color, varied textures, and a burst of freshness. Preparing each ingredient separately and layering carefully maintains the distinct layers offering a good balance between creamy, savory, and fresh components in each bite. These cups work well as appetizers or snacks at gatherings.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refried beans (I used a 16-oz can)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
- green onions sliced (for garnish)
- cilantro for garnish, freshly chopped
- 2 Roma tomato seeded and diced
- 2.25 ounces black olive drained (I used a 2.25-oz can, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together refried beans with taco seasoning until well blended. Transfer the refried beans to a piping bag. Snip about 1 inch from the end of the piping bag and squeeze into the bottom of the clear party cups. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Next, place the guacamole into a piping bag. Snip the end and squeeze over the refried beans in each party cup. Tap the cups gently to settle the guacamole into an even layer.
- Place the sour cream into a piping bag. Snip the end and squeeze over the guacamole in each party cup. Smooth with a clean offset spatula.
- Then, place the salsa into a piping bag. Snip the end and squeeze over the sour cream in each party cup. Tap the cups gently to settle the salsa into an even layer.
- Top with cheddar cheese and garnish unless adding additional layers.
