Hey everyone, it’s me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe site. Today, I will show you a way to make a distinctive dish, layered tostito dip. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Make the best Layered Greek Dip for any occasion. Place a layer of tomato, green bell pepper, green onions and lettuce over the salsa, and top with Cheddar cheese. Classic seven layer dip consists of refried beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, olives and tomatoes, although there are a ton of other versions out there. I'm not a huge fan of refried beans, so I make mine with black beans, instead.
Layered Tostito Dip is one of the most favored of recent trending foods on earth. It’s easy, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions every day. Layered Tostito Dip is something that I’ve loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook layered tostito dip using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Layered Tostito Dip:
- Take 2/3 cup cream cheese
- Take 2 tbsp mayo
- Take 2/3 cup sour cream
- Make ready 2/3 cup salsa
- Prepare shredded cheese tex-mex style
After that, add a layer of guac and top it off with sour cream. Although the ingredients can vary from recipe to recipe, there are always seven layers. And many recipes add additional flavors as toppings. Seven layer bean dip begins with refried beans mixed with milk.
Steps to make Layered Tostito Dip:
- Microwave the cream cheese on high for 30s in a shallow container, mix with mayo and spread evenly using a rubber spatula (should be about 1/4 of your container)
- Note: the mayo keeps a dip texture to the cream cheese preventing it from re-hardening
- Spoon the sour cream on top and use the rubber spatula to spread it evenly as the next layer (by now your container should be about half full)
- Spoon the salsa evenly over the sour cream for the next layer (container should be about 3/4 full)
- Top with shredded cheese as desired, chill for at least 1h and serve with tostitos (or corn chips) of choice
- Note: lotsa variations make this recipe fun and can be tweaked to taste, for example try adding chopped green onion to your sour cream layer, other optional additions are: olives, fresh cilantro, avocado and/or guacamole, refried beans, etc etc etc, have fun with it!
And many recipes add additional flavors as toppings. Seven layer bean dip begins with refried beans mixed with milk. Using a hand mixer not only makes the mixing easy, it helps with a creamy consistency so your chips don't break as you scoop it! Just like in Jalapeno Popper Dip, mix the cream cheese with a hand mixer too so it's easy to scoop. Seven layer dip is one of my favorites.
