Ten Layer Dip

Welcome back!

Today, we have a fun tex-mex appetizer (though who says it can't be a meal!) that combines a bunch of classic tex-mex style foods and rolls it into one for you to enjoy with your chips! Traditionally, the dip is made of 7 layers, but we decided to spice things up by making it ten layers. We have all of the ingredients that you could possibly want (OK, there's no meat but we put that on the side), and the assortment is very colorful!

10 Layer Dip

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients (in order):

Refried beans
Sour cream
Black beans
Corn
Guacamole
Pico de Gallo
Cheese (Sharp cheddar or Mexican blend)
Olives
Jalapenos
Green Onions

Directions:

Prepare the three things that need to be prepared - refried beans, guacamole, and pico - based off of our recipe here.
Chop everything into small enough chunks: it needs to be dip-able!
Assemble it. You can do it in small cups like we did or into a dish.

Of course, you can add pretty much anything you want! The key things are refried beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo. You could also put meat as a layer, or substitute the cheese with liquid queso. You can also add salsa, lettuce, or onions, whatever! Also, if you don't have sour cream, you can quickly make it with whipping cream and some lemon juice.
