Seven Layer Dip

An old classic, but with a fresher twist. Try making your taco seasoning mix with easy ingredients you’ve probably got around the house. Whip up your own guac, too. Recipes below.

1 package Taco Seasoning Mix*
8 oz. Sour Cream (or Greek Yogurt)
8 oz. Guacamole**
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 cup Salsa
1 4 oz. can Diced Green Chiles
2 large Green Onions, sliced
1 small can Sliced Black Olives
1 cup fresh Cilantro, chopped

Combine beans and seasoning mix in a small bowl. Spread on the bottom of square baking dish. Top with sour cream/yogurt, then guacamole, cheese, salsa, green chiles, green onions, and black olives.
