Mexican Layer Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and half of the onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 20 minutes., Spread refried beans into a 13x9-in. dish; top with beef mixture, tomatoes, green pepper and remaining onion. Layer with sour cream and cheese. If desired, top with chopped green onions and chopped tomatoes. Serve with chips.

Steps:

• In a clear pie pan, or similar dish, spread a layer of bean dip. Top the bean dip with a layer of guacamole. Allow the layers to thicken in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, while the bean dip and guacamole chill, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning. When the chilled mixture is sufficiently thickened, spread a layer of the sour cream mixture over the layer of guacamole. Top the sour cream layer with the grated cheese. Garnish the layers with the jalapenos and tomatoes.

Steps:

• Heat refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven until hot, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Spread beans onto the bottom of a serving platter; refrigerate until the beans are cooled completely, about 10 minutes.
• Spread guacamole in a layer atop the beans. Spread sour cream atop the guacamole. Sprinkle cheese over the sour cream; top with tomatoes.
• Cover platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread refried beans in the bottom of a (1-quart) shallow edged serving dish (you can use a transparent dish if you'd like). Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the beans. Layer the diced tomatoes over the beans, the sour cream over the tomatoes, and the guacamole over the sour cream. Sprinkle the entire layered dip with cheddar cheese, followed by green onion and finishing it off with a layer of black olives. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

• Top the bean dip with a layer of guacamole.
• Allow the layers to thicken in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, while the bean dip and guacamole chill, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning.

Steps:

• In small saucepan, combine refried beans, chili with beans, chili powder, and cinnamon. Combine well and heat through.
• Spread in bottom of pie plate. Dollop sour cream on top of first layer and spread evenly.
• In small saucepan, combine salsa, garlic powder, dried cilantro, and onion flakes.
• Dollop on top of sour cream of spread evenly.
• Layer lettuce on top of salsa.
• Combine diced tomatoes, pepper, and onion. (Use more or less of the three as long as the total amount comes between 1/4 cup and 6 tbsp).
• Top lettuce with the tomato, pepper, and onion.
• Top the veggies with the cheese.
• Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the sides bubble. The cheese does not need to melt on top. Dig in!

Steps:

• Mix sour cream, mayo and seasoning together; set aside.
• Mix vegetables together; set aside.
• Warm beans (fat-free can be used), spread in an approximately 11x7-inch serving/baking dish. (The original recipe said to warm them. It seems to make them easier to spread, but if I'm going to refrigerate the dip before serving it, I don't bother heating the beans.).
• Layer half the cheese on top. Follow with a layer of salsa, a layer of sour cream mixture and a layer of vegetable. Top with remaining cheese.
• Serve with corn chips (scoops size) or tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and seasoning mix until blended; spread onto serving plate or bottom of pie plate.
• Top with remaining ingredients.
• Refrigerate several hours or until chilled.

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together the avocado, lemon juice, garlic salt, black pepper, and hot sauce; set aside. In another bowl, mix the sour cream, mayo, and taco seasoning; set aside. In a wide, shallow bowl, layer the bean dip, avocado mixture, sour cream mixture, picante sauce, onions, tomatoes, olives, and jalapeno peppers to taste, and top with both cheeses. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Spread each layer, one on top of the next, on a large serving plate or glass pan.
• 1st layer- bean dip 2nd layer- guacamole*see my recipe* 3rd layer- (combined) sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning 4th layer- (combined) green onions, black olives, tomatoes 5th layer- salsa 6th layer-cheddar cheese Refrigerate for a couple hours.

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, combine refried beans and salsa. Consistency should be that of cake frosting--spreadable but not thick. Adjust amount of salsa accordingly.
• Spread bean and salsa mixture onto serving platter. (I use the back of a metal serving spoon.).
• Layer remaining ingredients.
• Serve with Baked Tostitos Scoops Tortilla Chips.
• NOTES: Also great as a meal. Even my green-veggie-phobic children devour this dish! This recipe is moderately spicy. Change the heat of the salsa to adjust. You could also top with jalapenos or other hot peppers to add more heat. I sometimes use different greens (prepackaged salad mixes) instead of iceberg lettuce and use different cheeses (pepperjack kicks it up a few notches!).

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, mix in the taco sauce and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, cream cheese and taco seasoning mix. Spread the mixture into a medium serving dish.
• Layer the sour cream mixture with beef mixture, Cheddar cheese and lettuce. Top with tomato, green onions and black olives.
