Description

These 7 Layer Dip Cups are a fun and convenient way to enjoy a classic party dip, layered with refried beans, fresh guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese, olives, green onions, and diced tomatoes. Perfect for gatherings, these individual servings are easy to assemble and serve, with optional jalapeno peppers for a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Layers

  • 1 16-ounce can refried beans
  • 2 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 8-ounce container sour cream
  • 1 cup chunky salsa, drained
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
  • 1 2.25-ounce can sliced olives
  • 3-4 green onions, sliced
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons diced jalapeno peppers (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Guacamole:

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the peeled and pitted avocados with the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mash together using a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Set aside.

  2. Layer Refried Beans and Guacamole:

    Divide the refried beans evenly at the bottom of each small cup. Next, add a layer of the prepared guacamole, followed by a layer of sour cream.

  3. Add Salsa Layer:

    Drain any excess liquid from the chunky salsa and spoon it over the sour cream in each cup.

  4. Top with Cheeses and Vegetables:

    Sprinkle shredded cheese over the salsa, then add sliced olives, green onions, and diced tomatoes evenly atop each cup. Optionally, add diced jalapeno peppers for some heat.

  5. Chill and Serve:

    Refrigerate the assembled cups until ready to serve. Just before serving, garnish each cup with a single tortilla chip if desired for a fun presentation and added crunch.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest guacamole layer.
  • Drain salsa well to avoid soggy layers.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving.
  • Add jalapenos cautiously if you prefer mild flavors.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks for dipping.
