    Recipe Introduction


    Here is the absolute fave at our house. My son and his friends consume mass quantities. This classic won't weigh you down like store-bought versions, which can be impossible to sink a chip through. The secret to seven penetrable layers is lightening the load with sour cream.

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 (1 oz) pkg taco seasoning mix
    1 (16 oz) can fat-free refried beans
    1 1/2 C reduced-fat sour cream
    1/2 C (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
    1 1/2 C salsa
    1 1/2 C prepared guacamole
    1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
    3 - 6 scallions, sliced
    1 1/2 C shredded sharp cheddar
    or Mexican-style cheese blend
    1 (6 oz) can sliced black olives, drained

    Recipe



    In a medium bowl, mix the taco seasoning mix and refried beans with 1/4 cup of sour cream. Spread the mixture in a large serving dish. Mix the remaining sour cream and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Drop mixture in dollops over the refried beans and gently smooth dollops together. Drop guacamole in dollops over the sour cream layer and gently smooth dollops together. Drain salsa in a colander. Spread a layer of drained salsa over the guacamole layer. Place a layer of lettuce and scallions over the salsa. Top with cheese and garnish with black olives. Serve with tortilla chips or Scoops.

    *Wendy, my mom also makes a seven layer dip, which we loved as kids, but it's slightly different than yours. My mom mixed the taco seasoning packet into the sour cream and there was no cream cheese. Also used chopped tomato instead of salsa, but I'm pretty sure that any combination of the above ingredients would be a crowd pleaser :)
