7 layer taco dip is a tasty appetizer that’s perfect for tailgate parties, fiestas, or even snacking and lounging around the house on the weekend.

THIS is the Layered Taco Dip Recipe You Need 

This layered taco dip recipe is the perfect balance of every ingredient. The layers will keep the guacamole from going brown and the cheese won’t get soggy.

With this easy taco dip recipe, you can enjoy this snack with less prep and cleanup. Amazing, right?

Making this 7 layer taco dip with ground beef is a great way to help hold everyone over until the main course arrives, but it’s also filling enough it could become the main course too. I mean, there’s meat, cheese, and vegetables already packed in there, so a convincing argument could be made.

With this low hassle 7 layer dip, you can have your appetizing dish ready in no time at all. Less time working, more time eating! Just don’t forget the chips. If you want to keep it meatless, just leave out the meat and mix the taco seasoning into the beans. That is the method I used in the video!

7 Layer Dip with Meat Ingredients

  • Taco seasoning: You can use one packet of storebought and premade taco seasoning or you can follow my super simple taco seasoning recipe and just use ¼ cup of that instead.
  • Refried beans: We only need 1 can of store-bought refried beans. Grab your favorite variety.
  • Ground beef: Of course a taco dip with ground beef needs ground beef, but we only need ½ pound of it to cover an entire layer with meat.
  • Guacamole: Grab your favorite premade guacamole (or make it yourself) but this green avocado mix is one layer you don’t want to forget.
  • Salsa: Here’s a burst of red color and a chance to kick up the heat. Grab your favorite salsa and layer it on there.
  • Sour cream: Adding in a tangy and creamy texture that pairs great with the other flavors is a layer of sour cream.
  • Cheese: Of course we need cheese too! I like to use pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese but you can use cheddar too if preferred.
  • Olives and green onions: Sprinkling over the top are some chopped black olives and sliced green onions making this dish more appealing, and tastier. Yum!

How to make Layered Taco Dip with Ground Beef

  • In a bowl, or in a large pot combine your cooked ground beef with the taco seasoning and refried beans until well mixed.
  • Spread the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
  • Spread your guacamole over the top as evenly as you can.
  • Follow that up with a nice ad even layer of your favorite salsa.
  • Spread the sour cream over the top of the salsa.
  • Evenly spread the cheese over the sour cream.
  • Sprinkle the olives over the top of the cheese.
  • Follow that up with a nice sprinkling of sliced green onions too.
  • Place the 7 layer dip in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

While guacamole does being to turn brown the moment it is exposed to oxygen, in this layered dip it can actually maintain its green color longer.
