Taco Dip Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this top-rated seven-layer taco dip recipe: 

  • Canned vegetables: The recipe starts with a can of refried beans and ends with canned sliced black olives. 
  • Seasoning: Use store-bought taco seasoning mix or make your own at home.
  • Sour cream and cream cheese: A mixture of sour cream and cream cheese is the rich, smooth, and creamy second layer. 
  • Salsa: You’ll need a 16-ounce jar of your favorite salsa. 
  • Fresh produce: From the produce aisle, you’ll need a tomato, a green bell pepper, green onions, and iceberg lettuce. 
  • Cheese: Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the taco dip.

How to Make Taco Dip

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make layered taco dip: 

  1. Blend the beans with the seasoning mix, then spread it onto a serving platter. 
  2. Mix the cream cheese and sour cream, then spread it over the beans. 
  3. Top with salsa and fresh produce, then sprinkle with cheese and garnish with olives. 

What to Serve With Taco Dip

This layered taco dip is best served with tortilla chips. If you want to go the extra mile, make your own tortilla chips at home. It also pairs well with crackers, pita chips, or fresh veggies (such as carrots and celery). 

Can You Make Taco Dip Ahead of Time? 

Sure! Since this seven-layer taco dip is served cold, you can definitely make it a day or so in advance. Store it in an airtight container (or covered tightly with storage wrap) in the refrigerator for up to four days. 

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“This is probably my favorite nacho/taco dip I've ever made,” raves Mochi PJAMas. “It was really easy and made a HUGE amount, perfect for a big family snack or a party. The addition of the taco seasoning to the refried beans gave a tasty kick.”

“This was really good,” says Lisa Brown. “I don't have a large serving platter, so I used 13x9-inch baking dish. I was concerned there wouldn't be enough beans to cover the bottom, so I added a little bit of salsa and it worked out perfectly.”

“I always get rave reviews for this one,” according to MaLizGa. “It's so easy to assemble and such a crowd pleaser!”
