Dannon 7 Layer Dip Recipes

7 LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Place salsa in a sieve to drain any liquid (this keeps your dip from getting runny).
• Combine refried beans and milk (or you can use the liquid from the salsa if you prefer) until smooth. Spread in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
• Combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning with a mixer on medium. Spread over refried beans.
• Spoon guacamole over cream cheese and gently spread. Repeat with drained salsa.
• Top with cheese, olives/tomatoes and green onions.
• Chill 1 hour before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

SEVEN-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and half the jalapeño (about 1 tablespoon). Season with salt and pepper. In another small bowl, coarsely mash the avocado, lime juice and remaining 1 tablespoon jalapeño, then season with salt and pepper.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat or in a microwave, warm the refried beans with the cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the beans on a platter with a rim or lip. Top evenly with the cheese, followed by the olives, avocado mixture and salsa. Top with dollops of jalapeño-sour cream and sprinkle with crumbled Fritos, scallions and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

CHARRED CORN 7-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• To make the roasted corn salsa: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and stir to coat in the oil. Season with salt. Cook until the corn kernels are browned and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. While still hot, add the cilantro, chile, lime juice, onion and the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Stir to combine. Season with salt, if needed, and a couple turns of black pepper. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Spread the Refried Beans on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish in an even layer.
• Carefully spread the Guacamole in an even layer over the beans.
• Mix together in a medium bowl the sour cream, coriander, smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined. Carefully spread the sour cream on top of the layer of Guacamole.
• To complete the remaining layers, sprinkle the Cotija evenly over the corn salsa. Top the Cotija with the radishes. Sprinkle the green onions on top. Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired. Serve with the limey tortilla chips.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook until the garlic and onion are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, green chiles, chipotles and sauce. Season with the remaining teaspoon salt. Stir to combine until the beans are coated, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and stir to incorporate. Increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken broth is slightly reduced and thickened to a gravy, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the beans to a food processor with a blade attachment or to a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Season with salt.
• In a large bowl, add the avocados, cilantro, lime zest and juice and salt. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky.
