It’s not a party without 7 layer dip!
It’s an essential game day appetizer.
Refried beans should be servedwarm.

There, I’ve said it.
This is why I make 7 layer dip starting with a layer of hot refried beans.
The only cold part of the dip is the topping of sour cream (or crema Mexicana).

Served this way and the taste delightfully mimicstostadasor homemadenachos, but in an easy-to-serve dip form.
Improvise with more or fewer toppings to your own taste.
you’ve got the option to also add a layer of seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken.

Warm them up and add them along with the refried beans and cheese.
Blue corn tortilla chips are a fun alternative to regular white or yellow corn chips.
it’s possible for you to use olive oil instead, to help the consistency of the beans.
Heat the refried beans in a medium saute pan or cast iron skillet.
Stir in enough water to get a creamy, easily dip-able consistency, about 1/4 of a cup.
Simple Tip!
Mix in the chipotle chili powder and cumin to taste.
Heat until the beans are hot and bubbly.
Remove the serving dish from the oven, and spread the beans evenly over the bottom.
Immediately top with the shredded cheese so that the heat from the beans helps melt the cheese.
Layer on the chopped green chilies, chopped avocado, chopped tomato.
Spoon on the sour cream (or crema Mexicana).
Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
