8 LAYER MEXICAN DIP



8 Layer Mexican Dip image

I have had this dip recipe for ages. We like it because it doesn't have any guacamole or avocado. To spice it up even more I have used spicy taco sauce and added some green chilies.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe avocados for the guacamole layer. This will give it a creamy, rich flavor.
  • To make the sour cream layer, use full-fat sour cream. This will give it a thicker, more luxurious consistency.
  • For the salsa layer, use your favorite store-bought or homemade salsa. If you're using a store-bought salsa, choose one that is medium or mild in heat.
  • To make the taco seasoning, use a store-bought packet or make your own. If you're making your own, use a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • To make the refried beans layer, use canned or homemade refried beans. If you're using canned refried beans, rinse them well before using.
  • To make the Mexican rice layer, use long-grain rice. This type of rice will cook up light and fluffy.
  • To make the shredded chicken layer, you can use cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken or cook your own. If you're cooking your own chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.
  • To make the shredded cheese layer, use a Mexican cheese blend. This type of cheese will melt smoothly and evenly.

Conclusion:

This 8-layer Mexican dip is a delicious and easy-to-make party appetizer. It's perfect for any occasion, from Cinco de Mayo to a casual weekend get-together. With its vibrant colors and layers of flavor, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a recipe to please a crowd, give this 8-layer Mexican dip a try.
