        Individual Seven-Layer Dips<\/h2>\n

        Always a tasty party favorite, however, after a few people have dipped, it starts to look like mush.<\/p>\n

        All the pretty layers turn into an unappetizing pile.<\/p>\n

        Perfect for tailgating use plastic tumblers for individual servings.<\/p>\n

        Ingredients:<\/h3>\n
        \n
          \n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0(16 ounces) can refried beans<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0(1 ounce) package taco seasoning<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0cup<\/span>\u00a0guacamole or make homemade guacamole<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0(8 ounces) container sour cream<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0cup<\/span>\u00a0chunky salsa or pico de gallo; or make homemade pico de gallo<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0cup<\/span>\u00a0shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 2<\/span>\u00a0Roma tomatoes<\/span>, diced<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1\/2<\/span>\u00a0bunch of green onions<\/span>, sliced<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 1<\/span>\u00a0(2.25 ounce) can of sliced olives, drained<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 8<\/span>\u00a0(9 ounces) plastic tumblers<\/span><\/li>\n
        • tortilla chips<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Instructions:<\/h3>\n
          \n
          In a small bowl mix taco seasoning with refried beans. Some people prefer to mix their taco seasoning with the sour cream layer but I wanted a bright white layer so I did it with the beans.<\/div>\n
          Here’s how the layers are assembled:<\/div>\n
            \n
          • Layer 1: beans and taco seasoning<\/li>\n
          • Layer 2: guacamole<\/li>\n
          • Layer 3: sour cream<\/li>\n
          • Layer 4: salsa or pico de gallo<\/li>\n
          • Layer 5: cheese<\/li>\n
          • Layer 6: tomatoes<\/li>\n
          • Layer 7: green onions and olives (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
            In each plastic glass, layer about 2 Tablespoons of the beans, followed by 2 Tablespoons of sour cream, 2 Tablespoons of guacamole, 2 Tablespoons of salsa or pico de gallo, and 2 Tablespoons of cheese. Make sure you drain your salsa or pico to get the excess liquid out before you pour it on. Then top with about 1-2 teaspoons of tomatoes, olives, and green onion (If making ahead of time, wait to add these toppings until shortly before serving).<\/div>\n
            Garnish with one tortilla chip. Store in the refrigerator until serving and serve with chips.<\/div>\n
            Makes around 8 individual dips.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
