Original post…

Football and snacking seem to go hand in hand, especially when you get to the championship games and Super Bowl! Heck, many people the BIG GAME solely for the food, the company and and the advertisements.

And whether you’re a football fan and your team is in the Super Bowl or your just there for the entertainment, this is a dip everyone can cheer about!

And let me just say before we get too far, while I developed this Warm 7 Layer Mexican Dip for a Super Bowl gathering…  trust me, it will be a win any time you make it!

It’s a warm version of our 7 Layer Mexican Dip (which is served room temp and which we’ve been making for years) and it’s even more amazing than I thought possible!

Creamy and indulgent tasting, it is so delicious, no one has to know it’s also packed with goodness!

It’s a classic, crowd-pleasing dish with a few twists for extra flavor and freshness…

Plus it’s super EASY to prepare and naturally gluten-free.

Here’s what you’ll need:

canned black beans

canned refried beans

your favorite taco seasoning

avocado

shredded cheese or dairy-free cheese

sour cream or dairy-free sour cream

cherry or grape tomatoes

cilantro

green onions

jarred pepperoncini (aka banana peppers)

and black olives.

So let’s make it!

The first thing I like to do it cut the tomatoes and let them sit in a strainer sprinkled with salt so that they release their water. This step is helpful in keeping the dip from getting watery.

Next I like to prepare the layers starting with the first layer which is a mix of  refried beans, black beans and taco seasoning. Packed with protein and flavor!

Next up, let’s make the guacamole layer. It’s essentially our Best Ever Guacamole and is a mix of avocado, cilantro and jarred pepperoncini (aka banana peppers). The banana peppers help keep the guacamole from turning brown and add the best flavor in place of lemon or lime.

After this is comes together really quickly…

Add a layer of sour cream. Then top with black olives, then tomatoes. Top with cheese and bake for 20 minutes! That’s it!

 

Before serving top with the green parts of green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

It’s super cheesey, creamy and sooooo yummy!

So just grab your favorite chip and enjoy!

Warm 7 Layer Mexican Dip

Naturally gluten-free, this vegetarian dip is packed with goodness and flavor! Perfect for entertaining or a fun night in, it's a total crowd-pleaser! Just grab your favorite chip, and dip!
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Snack, Game Day, Super Bowl
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Optional, Vegetarian, Vegan &amp
Servings: 8 -12 servings
Author: Healthy Gluten-free Family

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 15 oz can refried beans
  • 2-3 teaspoons gluten-free taco seasoning according to taste
  • 1 cup low fat sour cream or dairy free alternative
  • 3- 3½ ripe avocados depending on size
  • ½ cup jarred banana peppers chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 heaping cup grape tomatoes quartered or smaller according to taste and how big the tomatoes are.
  • cup -1 cup shredded Mexican Blend Cheese or dairy free alternative
  • cup black olives sliced
  • cup green onions sliced (green part only)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place Tomatoes in a strainer over a bowl, sprinkle with salt and set aside while you prep the other layers. This will help the tomatoes release some water so that the dip doesn't get watery.
  • Make Bean Layer: In a small bowl mix refried beans and taco seasoning. Gently fold in black beans.
  • Make Guacamole layer: With a fork gently mash 2 avocados. Mix in the peppers. Then gently fold in cilantro. Add in the third avocado and gently mash with a fork (I like to do the third avocado last so that there are some chunky avocado pieces but mix to your liking). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble: In a shallow pan (8x 12 or 8 x 11), use a spatula to layer beans, then guacamole, then sour cream. Top with black olives and diced tomatoes. Then top with cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and it's heated all the way through. Pro-tip: if your pan is packed to the brim, place pan on a baking sheet before baking. It will make it easier to get in and out of the oven and if it bubbles over, it won't be a mess!
  • Top with green onions.
  • Serve with your favorite chips. Enjoy!

  1. What is the taco seasoning you use? I always struggle finding a gluten free one. Looks delicious and I can’t wait to make it. Thank you!
