How to Make 7-Layer Bean Dip:

Flavor Beans: if using canned refried beans, it’s crucial to give them some extra flavor. We season them with cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. My mom always used to squirt a little of this green sauce in there too. There are no strong rules here – just make them taste good! It will make a big difference in the end result. Mash Avocado: Add 1 Tablespoon of lime or lemon juice to prevent the avocado from going brown. Layer: Spread the refried beans into an even layer in a platter, then cover with mashed avocados, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, olives, and sprinkle the green onion on top. You are welcome to add any more of your favorite toppings. Refrigerate this easy 7 layer dip until ready to serve with tortilla chips, or feel free to eat it plain!
