What’s in 7 Layer Taco Dip? Beans: Refried pinto beans work best. You can spread them evenly across the bottom of your serving dish and they are the best for dipping. If you’re not a fan, refried black beans are delicious as well. Sour cream and Cream Cheese: Sour cream adds such an awesome tanginess to the dip. When combined with cream cheese, you get the best of both worlds! Just make sure you let your cream cheese soften at room temperature before you attempt to mix it with the sour cream. Shredded Cheese: Bagged, shredded Mexican cheese is where it’s at! It typically has a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack. You can also solely use shredded cheddar. But, if you don’t have the time or energy, use your favorite store-bought taco seasoning. Vegetables: Chopped tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, black olives, avocado, and jalapenos are great to sprinkle right on top of your dip — use them all or just pick one!
