Stand Out from the Crowd
What makes this party favorite stand out from a sea of other delicious appetizers is the fresh deli pico de gallo and smooth Fritos bean dip base. Each add a truly unique set of flavors you didn't know you were missing with the traditional refried beans and diced tomatoes most recipes call for.

You can even get crazy with it all and add a layer or two! No one ever said Seven Layer Taco Dip could only have seven layers. Break the rules!

And if using this recipe in a party setting don't hesitate to put your layers in small, clear plastic cups for individual sized more portable portions!
Accompaniments
And don't forget almost as equally important as how you choose to serve up your seven layers is what you serve it alongside! A few of our favorite accompaniments include tortilla chips, crackers, pita chips, fresh cut veggies, warm tortilla pieces or pretzels. The options truly are endless!
Pro Chef - Mom Hacks
Store leftovers for 3-4 days in the fridge covered tightly. Keep in mind the avocado layer may start to brown. After 24 hours your dip will not look as pretty but I can guarantee it is going to taste sooooo good! If there are any extra juices or liquids just drain off and enjoy!
