7-Layer Mexican Appetizer

This was the last appetizer that I made for the party.  The ingredients are not what the picture was!  So, I improvised a bit.  This appetizer turned out really good and everyone really seemed to enjoy it!  There was none left!  I will give you the original recipe and then told you what I changed!

7-Layer Mexican Appetizer

16 ozs refried beans

2-3 avocados

1 lime

salt

16 ozs sour cream

114 ozs taco seasoning

1 bunch green onion (chopped)

black olives

2-3 tomatoes (chopped de-seeded)

2-3 cups sharp cheddar cheese (grated)

chips (nacho) 

 

1.	Layer #1: Spread the entire can of refried beans on a dinner-sized plate/platter.
2.	Layer #2: Mash the avocados with a little fresh lime juice & salt to taste. Spread avocado evenly over refried beans.
3.	Layer #3: Mix the taco teasoning into the container of sour cream. Spread this evenly over the avocado layer.
4.	Layer #4: Chopped green onion.
5.	Layer #5: Sliced black olives.
6.	Layer #6: Chopped tomatoes--I like to remove the seeds before chopping so it does not turn into 7-Layer Soup.
7.	Layer #7: Freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese.
8.	Serve with Nacho Chips--I like to get the nacho chips from a local Mexican restaurant.

 

Layer #1: Spread refried beans onto a 9-in x 13-in pan.

Layer #2: Mash the avacados with a little lime juice, salt, and garlic powder. Spread avacado evenly over refried beans.

Layer #3:  Mix the taco teasoning into the container of sour cream. Spread this evenly over the avocado layer.

Layer #4: Spread salsa evenly over sour cream

Layer #5: Chop lettuce and spread over sour cream.

Layer  #6:  Sprinkle taco cheese over lettuce.

Layer #7:  Slice black olives (1 can) and place over cheese.

 

 

You can make whatever layers you would like and have fun with this recipe.  Just make sure your layers don't get soupy so that you can't scoop it. I served with tortilla chips!  Enjoy!
