Kat's 7 Layer Dip

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package sour cream

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1/4 cup taco seasoning mix (1 packet)
• 1 cup four-cheese Mexican blend cheese
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 large green pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1/2 head lettuce, shredded

• 1 (13 ounce) bag tortilla chips, for dipping

Optional layers

• 1/2 cup black olives, chopped
• 1/2 cup jalapeno, chopped
• 1 cup guacamole

• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

1. 1

   Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and taco seasoning together until well blended. I use Old El Paso taco seasoning that comes in a can, so I can adjust the taco seasoning up or down to suit my tastes. That also makes it easier if you want to halve the recipe.

2. 2

   Layer 1 - Sour cream, cream cheese, taco seasoning blend.

3. 3

   Layer 2 - Cheese.

4. 4

   Layer 3 - Red Onion.

5. 5

   Layer 4 - Green Peppers.

6. 6

   Layer 5 - Tomatoes.

7. 7

   Layer 6 - Lettuce.

8. 8

   I like putting the lettuce on top in this dip, as it helps the lettuce stay crisper longer.
