Favorite Ingredients Friday-Famous 7 Layer Dip



Mexican 7 Layer Dip
~
Bottom Layer
~
Chili Bean Dip
Ingredients
2 garlic cloves
1 small onion
2 fresh green chiles
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1-2 tsps hot chili powder
14-oz can kidney beans
3 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and pepper
Finely chop the garlic and onion. Seed and finely chop the green chiles. Heat oil in a frying pan and add garlic, onion, green chiles and chili powder. Cook gently about 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onion is softened. Drain the can of kidney beans, reserving the liquid. Mash all but 2 Tbsps of the beans to a paste. (Recipe calls for blender/food processor but you can use a potato masher for better texture.) Add the mashed beans to the fying pan with 3 Tbs of the reserved liquid. Heat gently, stirring to mix well. Stir in the whole kidney beans and the cheese. Cook gently for about 2-3 minutes, stirring until all the cheese melts. Add salt and plenty of pepper, to taste.

Second Layer
~
Use any Spanish Rice Mix, cooked per package direstions.
~
Third Layer
~
The next layer is guacamole. Take three pretty ripe avocados and mash them with a potato masher along with 2 Tbs lemon juice and 1/2 tsp black pepper. This leaves it pretty chunky which works well in a dip setting. It works best to evenly space a bunch of dollops, then spread. You can use your own guacamole recipe too.
~
Fourth Layer
~
For the next layer, take 1 1/4 cups of sour cream and mix in 1 packet of *hot* taco seasoning. Then go with the dollop and spread method again.
~
Fifth Layer
~
Seed and dice 1 to 2 tomatos and sprinkle.
~
Six Layer
~
Then, 1 small can of Mario brand sliced olives with jalapenos, drained. Sprinkle.
~
7th Layer
~
Last up is grated cheddar cheese, add enough to cover top.
~
Serve with tortilla chips.
~
Note: This recipe may take a little while to make, but it is oh so good! I found this on the web somewhere, don't remember where, but when I go to parties and am asked to bring something this is what I bring and there are NO leftovers to bring home!
~
Happy Memorial Day!

Oh, Lorie, this sounds great! I have made 7 layer dip MANY times, but have never used rice......I LOVE that idea...what a great meal idea for the family. With the rice and the beans it makes it a complete protein....this sounds like a fun Friday night "Family Fun Night" dinner! Thanks for posting it! Can't wait to try it!

Blessings,

I'm with Lori. I've made 7 layer dip a lot, and never thought to add rice. I even loved the 7 layer burrito when Taco Bell had it. It had rice, and I still never thought to add it to my dip. Duh!!!

Thanks!

I've seen these before but never with a photo, so now I know what it looks like hooray. I have never seen anything like it at pot lucks over here so wonder how it would go down if I made it, being so different. Only one way to find out isn't there.
