It’s halftime in our special Tailgating Week, and tailgating just wouldn’t be tailgating without delicious munchies on the grill or off! Miss Jenn is quite the munchie aficionado, so eat up! Kids, go ahead and try this at home.
Miss Jenn’s 7 Layer Dip
Ingredients needed (size to fit your team):
Refried Beans
Shredded Cheese
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Guacamole
Sour Cream
Salsa
Tortilla chips
How to make:
First, get a serving dish! Something that chips can easily scoop a messy dip out of.
Layer One: The refried beans. I heat these up a little bit in a microwave safe bowl. Typically about a minute. Then I mix a little shredded cheese into it and put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Place this first layer in the serving dish.
Layer Two: Cheese, you will see cheese repeat itself in other layers, but this is one for itself. Smother the refried beans in a layer of shredded cheesy goodness.
Layer Three: Cut up the lettuce into small bits to layer on top of the dip. People need to be able to scoop it up easily, so no salad size pieces of lettuce.
Layer Four: The tomatoes can be cut to your liking. I dice mine to be able to sprinkle them over the top of the dip.
Layer Five: Before I put the guacamole on top I lay a little more cheese down. I told you it would come back. I place the guacamole over the top of the dip.
Layer Six: I am not a fan of sour cream, but many of my friends are. When making this, they say it tastes great to have sour cream spread over the top. I like to just put a dollop on the top of the dip for people to eat as they see fit. Either way works for this tasty treat.
Layer Seven: Drizzle salsa over the top of the dip for a finishing touch.
Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
Other good items to mix in: Hamburger meat with the refried beans. Sliced jalapenos to accent the top.
