7 Layer Dip Cup Appetizer – Perfect for Parties!

These 7 Layer Dip Cup Appetizers will be a hit at your next get-together or party! Not only are they tasty, but they’re gorgeous to look at!

7 Layer Dip Cup Appetizers are tasty and visually appealing!

Appetizers are one of my favorite things to make in the kitchen. They are tasty and often easiest to make look great, too. Traditionally, you make a 7 layer dip in a dish where you can view the individual layers. This appetizer is no different. These 5 oz. clear cups are perfect! They are hard plastic, BPA-free, and reusable. They can even be frozen!

As written, this recipe yields 12 individual servings. To scale this recipe, use approximately two tablespoons each of refried beans, guacamole, and sour cream per 5-oz. appetizer cup. Then top each cup with chopped 3-4 cherry or grape tomatoes, one tablespoon cheese, 3-4 chopped black olives, and a few green onion slices.

Enjoy a Mexican-food theme night and serve these while you’re cooking up a batch of our Sizzling Chicken Fajitas!

Instructions to Make the 7 Layer Dip Cup Appetizers:

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out with a spoon into a large bowl. Add garlic and lime juice, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Mash with a fork until thoroughly blended and smooth. Cover tightly and set aside

Add the sour cream, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder to a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Set aside.

To assemble, add approximately two tablespoons refried beans to the bottom of each cup with a small spoon, followed by a layer of guacamole and the seasoned sour cream (two tablespoons each), in each cup.

Finish each cup with a layer of chopped tomatoes (roughly 3-4 per cup), followed by one tablespoon finely shredded Mexican cheese blend, 3-4 chopped black olives, and a few green onion slices.

Garnish each cup with a gluten-free blue tortilla chip, if desired, and serve immediately with additional tortilla chips on the side. Enjoy!
