On top of the cheese, there is a colorful layer of chopped red tomatoes and diced green onions, scattered evenly. Black olive slices are sprinkled over the top, creating a striking contrast with the bright veggies and cheese. Several small yellow oval-shaped chips are placed around and inside the dish, ready for dipping. The dish is set on a white marbled surface, with a white bowl of chips and two glasses of light-colored drinks with lime slices visible in the background. A blue cloth napkin partially covers the surface near the bottom right corner. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 (9 ounce) cans FRITOS® Bean Dip
2 cups guacamole (homemade or store-bought)
2 cups sour cream (16 ounce container)
3 tablespoons taco seasoning (about 3 packets)
1/2 to 1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
1/2 to 1 cup diced tomato
1/4 to 1/2 cup finely sliced green onions
2.25 ounce can sliced black olives (drained, amount to taste)
1 bag FRITOS® Scoops corn chips (or your favorite tortilla chips)

Instructions

Step 1: Spread the FRITOS® Bean Dip evenly on the bottom of a 9×13-inch serving dish.
Step 2: Layer the guacamole over the bean dip, spreading gently to cover completely.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning until well mixed. Spread this mixture over the guacamole layer.
Step 4: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the sour cream layer, then top with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and drained black olives.
Step 5: Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature with FRITOS® Scoops or your preferred tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Make your guacamole fresh with ripe avocados and a squeeze of lime for extra brightness.
For a spicier dip, add chopped jalapeños to the topping layer or mix some hot sauce into the sour cream.
Use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese for a lighter version without sacrificing flavor.
Try adding a layer of cooked ground beef or shredded chicken seasoned with taco spices for a heartier dip.

Storage

Store leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the layers fresh, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip before covering. When serving again, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and give it a gentle stir if desired. Avoid freezing as the texture will change.

How to Serve

A clear glass rectangular baking dish holds a layered dip with three visible layers: the bottom layer is creamy and light beige, the middle layer is covered with melted shredded yellow and white cheese, and the top layer is colorful, made up of chopped red tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions spread evenly. A few triangular corn chips are stuck into the dip around the edges. Surrounding the dish are scattered corn chips and three glasses of light-colored drink with lemon slices, all placed on a white marbled surface with a blue cloth nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare the 7-layer dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the dip up to a day in advance. Keep it covered and refrigerated, then add any fresh toppings like tomatoes or onions just before serving to maintain their texture.

What can I use if I don’t have FRITOS® Bean Dip?

You can substitute with refried beans seasoned with a touch of cumin and chili powder. Warm them slightly before spreading for best flavor and texture.
