Best 7 Layer Bean Dip Recipe
What’s In 7 Layer Dip? This 9×13 pan of deliciousness has 7 layers to it. The layers in 7 Layer Dip are:
- Guacamole
- Sour cream with taco seasoning
- Black refried beans
- Corn (fresh off the cob or canned)
- Queso Fresco
- Heirloom tomatoes
- Black olives (and cilantro or chives for garnish)
It’s nice to have a few yummy appetizers to graze on, for holiday celebrations!
Cooking with summer’s freshest corn, tomatoes, and avocados, I’ve come up with a favorite 7 Layer Bean Dip, perfect for the Fourth of July (or any summer party!)
How to serve bean dip
Unlike the traditional bean dip, this 7 Layer Dip is served cold. Make and chill until right before serving, and set out with your favorite crackers or chips!
Our favorite chips right now in our kitchen is Fred Meyer’s (Kroger’s) Organic Sweet Potato Chips. Have you tried them?

How to assemble 7 layer dip
- To assemble this recipe, grab a 9 x 13 glass dish. Glass is greatbecause then you can see the layers!
- Starting with the refried beans at the bottom, spread each layer of the beans, guacamole and sour cream one at a time.Use a spatula to spread each layer before adding the next layer.
- My favorite topping for this dip is heirloom tomatoes. We love this dip during the summer months because the tomatoes taste soooo much better!
- Cover the dip with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes before setting out to serve. You can also make this head and chill overnight.
- Serve the layered dip cold with tortilla chips or crackers!
Summer is the season for dips and yummy appetizers, and I tend to get a little out of control withhow much I eat.
Especially when you’re grazing, munching, mingling, and having a great time!
We took snacks and drinks to an open field to tailgate with friends for my 57th birthday last night. Thanks to all my family and friends for all the special wishes and birthday love throughout the day! Birthdays are very special, and my heart is grateful for another year of blessings!
I love cooking fresh!
This dip is made with fresh summer heirloom tomatoes. Use fresh corn if you can, and add your favorite taco seasoning to the sour cream. Layer it together and enjoy!

I love to set a festive table. Yours is very cheery and in the mood. Hooray for a no guilt dip. One loses track sometimes how much they are putting in their mouth, when they are laughing and talking.

We are not avocado lovers…not even likers! I’m going to try this without that layer…hoping it will still be delish!

Yum! Looks so good! I often make a layered dip, but one of our favorites is a “Texas Caviar”.

Love your red, white, blue table – where did you find the water bottles (with the wire tops) that you use often on your table when entertaining?
