Ingredients

  • 16 oz plain cream cheese Two 8-ounce blocks at room temperature (I use 1/3 less fat)
  • ¾ cup plain greek yogurt see notes
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 15- ounce can of black beans rinsed and drained (see notes)
  • 2 cups of shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapenos see notes
  • 1 cup salsa
Take your pick for the 7th layer:
  • guacamole
  • Diced avocado
  • halved olives
  • chopped fresh cilantro
  • chopped green onions

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and taco seasoning until smooth.
  2. Place cream cheese mixture in an even layer in your serving bowl or plate.
  3. Top cream cheese with black beans, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, jalapeños, and salsa. Use your 7th layer topping of choice and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • I use non-fat Greek yogurt but you can substitute sour cream if you prefer. It’s not as thick as Greek yogurt so you may not need as much to help thin out the cream cheese. Start with 1/2 cup and add from there.
  • I don’t use the entire can of black beans for this recipe, probably about 3/4 of it. Use as much as you like.
  • If you don’t want to use the pickled jalapeños, you can substitute pickled red onions or just leave them off. You can use any of the extra topping ideas to make a full 7 layers if you want or go crazy and make this dip, 8, 9, or 10 layers!
