Every host or hostess knows that it just isn’t a party if you don’t have 7-layer bean dip on hand. This creamy, spicy, flavorful taco dip with cream cheese is a celebration on a platter! We like to think of this as the ultimate 7-layer dip recipe because it's packed with everyone’s favorite Tex-Mex ingredients (like shredded cheese and refried beans), all in one handily dippable space. Serve your 7-layer dip with blue corn tortilla chips or your chip of choice for the perfect amount of crunch.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To add an eighth layer—and extra creamy goodness—to this layered bean dip, sprinkle chopped ripe avocado on top of the bean mixture. You'll end up with an even more colorful and delicious Mexican bean dip!
  • tip 2
    Sprinkle fresh cilantro sprigs on top of your 7-layer taco dip for a finishing touch.
  • tip 3
    Make crisp veggie “chips” to dunk into your 7-layer Mexican dip with sliced zucchini, carrot coins, jicama slices or sticks and sweet bell pepper strips.
