Looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that’s perfect for any gathering? This Fiesta Layered Dip is your ticket! Packed with vibrant flavors and colors, it’s a delicious way to bring some zest to your party table.
Refried black beans are the hearty base of our dip, giving it a rich, creamy texture. We’ll jazz them up with ground cumin and smoked paprika for a smoky, earthy kick, and season with salt to bring out all those wonderful flavors.
Sour cream adds a cooling contrast to the beans, balancing the spices perfectly. Meanwhile, guacamole provides a creamy, buttery layer that’s irresistible.
Chunky salsa brings a burst of freshness and a little zing, while shredded cheddar cheese offers that cheesy goodness we all love.
The toppings of chopped black olives, green onions, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro add texture, color, and a fresh finish to the dip. Finally, a drizzle of lime juice ties everything together with a tangy twist.
This dip is perfect with a side of crispy tortilla chips for scooping. For a healthier option, serve it with veggie sticks like cucumber, bell peppers, or carrot sticks. It also pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or as a topping for tacos and burritos.
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combining the refried black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix them well until the spices are evenly distributed. Spread this mixture as the first layer on your serving platter. It’s the foundation of your dip, so aim for an even spread.
Next up, it's time for the sour cream. Spoon it over the beans and gently spread it out. The key here is to be gentle so you don't disturb the bean layer beneath.
Now, let’s add the guacamole. Spoon it over the sour cream and use a spatula to spread it evenly. It’s okay if it’s not perfect—just aim for good coverage.
Grab your chunky salsa and spoon it over the guacamole. Spread it gently to ensure an even layer. This is where the flavors start getting exciting!
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa, covering it as much as possible. The cheese will add a delightful tang and richness to your dip.
For the sixth layer, scatter the chopped black olives and green onions evenly. They add a nice bite and color contrast.
Finally, top it off with diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Drizzle the entire dip with lime juice to brighten up the flavors. Now, stand back and admire your masterpiece!
