Directions

This is ingenious! I’ve loved a good 7 Layer Dip for 30 years. What I didn’t love was the mess left behind after people took their portion, or maybe some people helped themselves to a large healthy portion and others didn’t get any and I’ve never liked the idea of multiple hands touching one food. I’m not a germaphobe but I still look at people and wonder…

This idea fixed all of my issues plus one more, lines! Everything is available on Amazon so now I can get these awesome cups and lids for less than $10. I can make up individual cups so that everyone can have some. It can either be placed on the serving table as a ‘grab and go’ along side chips that are already pre-packaged in brown paper lunch sacks, or you can spread several out on the party tables with chips.

Steps

1 Done 2 minutes	Mix the diced green chili's in with the sour cream. If you want to walk on the wild side add half a can of diced, fire roasted jalapeno's to the sour cream. It's awesome, but may be a bit to spicy for your friends/family. Heat up the refried beans (it's more manageable this way) and add the taco seasoning. Stir.
2 Done 10	How to make Pico Chop and dice the tomato's, onions, jalepeno (take the seeds out unless you like it hot) and cilantro. Put into a small bowl. Add lime juice and stir. Now that was hard... wasn't it?
3 Done 15-20 minutes	Assembly Get your 4 ounce cups out. If you have a small ice cream/cookie dough scooper it'll be helpful during this part of the exercise. I find it's quickest and easiest if I focus on one ingredient at a time. Get the beans.. Add 2 tablespoons of beans to all the cups, when you've emptied the pan with the beans, repeat but with the guacamole. When that's gone, next add about 1 tablespoon of sour cream to all the cups. When you're finished with the sour cream push all the cups together and sprinkle shredded cheese into them. Top it with a tablespoon of Pico and put the lid on. You're done! Serve with chips.
