This no-bake 7-layer taco dip is the ultimate tailgate recipe—layers of seasoned refried beans, cool sour cream, chunky guacamole, and fresh toppings, all stacked in a dish that travels like a champ. It’s ready in 20 minutes and tastes even better after an hour in the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup prepared guacamole
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup pico de gallo or chunky salsa, drained
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, seeded and patted dry
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (green parts only)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine refried beans, taco seasoning, and water. Stir until smooth. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Spread the seasoned bean mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish using a rubber spatula.
  3. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth. Spread gently over the bean layer.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of guacamole over the sour cream layer and spread gently. If thick, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes first.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the guacamole layer. Press down lightly.
  6. Drain the pico de gallo or salsa in a fine-mesh strainer. Spoon over the cheese layer.
  7. Top with sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro if using.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is better).
  9. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

Drain all canned and jarred ingredients to prevent watery dip. Let the bean mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. For best results, chill overnight. Do not freeze or reheat.
