Get ready to be the hit of the party with this Classic Seven-Layer Fiesta Dip! This colorful, flavor-packed dish is perfect for gatherings, game days, or any time you crave a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make and absolutely irresistible.
The base of our dip is refried beans, which provide a hearty foundation and earthy flavor. Mixing sour cream with a bit of taco seasoning adds a tangy, spicy layer. Next up, guacamole provides creaminess and a touch of fresh avocado goodness. Salsa brings zesty, spicy notes that complement the smoothness of the guacamole. For our cheesy element, shredded cheddar cheese adds sharpness and richness. Black olives offer a briny, savory contrast, while green onions and tomatoes on top add freshness and a pop of color. Serve with crispy tortilla chips for that perfect crunchy contrast.
This dip pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or steak for a complete meal. For a vegetarian option, it complements black bean tacos or a fresh corn salad. If you’re hosting a party, offer it with a variety of chips and veggies for dipping.
Start by spreading the refried beans evenly in a clear glass serving dish. This will be your base layer, so make sure it’s nice and smooth. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with taco seasoning and mix them together until well blended. Carefully spread this mixture over the beans, creating a second layer.
Now, gently spoon the guacamole over the sour cream, being careful not to mix the layers together. The key here is to keep each layer distinct for that beautiful layered look. Next, evenly distribute the salsa over the guacamole. It’s best to use a slotted spoon if your salsa is a bit watery, as you want to avoid adding too much liquid.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa, ensuring good coverage. This is where things start to look really colorful! Distribute the sliced black olives over the cheese, adding a nice contrast in color and flavor. Finally, top it all off with a generous sprinkling of chopped green onions and tomatoes for a fresh finish.
Once assembled, cover the dip and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully together. When you’re ready to serve, bring out the tortilla chips and dig in!
