A delicious, quick, and easy Mexican Layer Dip recipe that includes sour cream, avocado and tasty cheese – the perfect crowd-pleasing dish for entertaining!
I love how easy this Mexican Layer Dip is to make! It can literally be whipped up in 10 minutes, making it a great affordable dish to bring along to BBQ’s. It’s a definite crowd-pleaser too, as I always seem to go home with an empty dish.
This delicious masterpiece only requires a few ingredients, and is so simple to throw together that even the kids can make it.
Refried beans are not usually my favourite thing, but mixed with some Mexican seasoning it makes a great base for this Mexican Layer Dip.
This is a 5 layer Mexican Dip, however you could easily add a few additional layers of lettuce, capsicum, olives or spring onions if you wanted to make it healthier or stretch it further.
I make this dip in a square casserole dish, but any nice shallow dish would be perfect for this recipe.

Thanks for this. I used to do one with cream cheese, but have decided I am no longer comfortable givng that to my children so this is a great alternative
Mine is slightly different I use a small tub of sour cream, no lemon juice or salsa. I put re fried beans on bottom, then avo, then mix sour cream and taco seasoning together as next layer, tomatos and a few shallots pieces then cheese on top. I use a $2 container rectangle container from junkie shops with the lid. Yum making my mouth water.
It’s making my mouth water too, yummo, thanks for sharing your version Cassandra 🙂
Katrina can this be made the day before or do you need to make it same day as eaten
If you made it the day before the avocado may go a little brown around the edges (The lemon juice will keep most of it from going brown, but if you were serving it at a party or something, I would suggest trying it before hand. The tomatoes may also make the cheese soggy.
*drool* this is one of my all-time favourite dips!! Love it! I could go with some now… Fi xx
yum! I will have to give this one a go great to take to parties

I do .. Bottom layer – mix together 4 bean mix, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion. Next layer – chopped/sliced lettuce, next layer – large tub of sour cream, top layer – crushed/broken cheese flavoured Doritos.
Both sound delicious. Might have to get making. Happy Australia Day lunch!!!
Hope you enjoyed it on Australia Day 🙂
Just a tip cook the dip in the oven then everything stays on your chip. It’s delicious!
this is clever idea Tyla, and warmed would be sooo good too.
Delicious Katrina thanks. Wouldn’t change a thing!
