8 Layer Mexican Party Dip Recipes

EIGHT-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• For the refried beans, in a medium skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and render until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon and reserve. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the beans, green chiles, cumin and hot sauce to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and add more cumin or hot sauce if desired. Reserve.
• For the pico de gallo, in a medium bowl, mix together the cilantro, tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Taste, adjust the seasoning and reserve.
• For the guacamole, scoop the avocado into a medium bowl. Add a pinch of salt, the remaining lime juice, 1/4 cup of the pico de gallo and 2 tablespoons of the juices from the bottom of the bowl. Mix together, taste and adjust the seasoning.
• In a glass dish, begin layering in the following order: refried beans, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, guacamole, black olives, cotija, bacon and pico de gallo to finish. Enjoy.
