Hello, I enjoyed reading your recipe for the seven-layer dip. I first got the idea from a bottle of PACE salsa. I have made it my own way, I spread the refried beans on the bottom, then I add a layer of sour cream with the taco seasoning mixed i n it, then a layer of guacamole. I like the Dean's brand guacamole. Then the grated cheese, and I like to top it off with a combination of chopped tomatoes, sliced olives and sliced green onion.
I love how you layer them! i love these! you're making me drool..
WOO HOO! I love all the 7-layers that's going on over here. First that cake, now this PERFECT taco dip 🙂 They both look so fun and funky and YUMMY!
