Presenting . . . my "Seven Layer Dip for a Crowd," from the "Fiesta Mexicana" chapter of The Infinite Feast. I use store-bought salsa and guacamole but you could make the fantastic guacamole and salsa recipes in my cookbook's "Fiesta" chapter instead! Go with 1 ½ times the salsa recipe and double the guacamole.
Seven Layer Dip for a Crowd
Makes 30 or more servings
I take this to parties in a big pan, about 17 x 13 x 3 inches. It’s a fiesta!
3 cans (4 ounces each) diced green chiles
4 cans (15.4 ounces each) organic refried beans
2 bunches green onions, white and green parts, sliced
1 jar (10 ounces) colossal pimiento-stuffed olives, sliced
2 containers (16 ounces each) sour cream
1 package taco seasoning (2 tablespoons) - or make it yourself - page 157 of my cookbook!
3 cans (15.5 ounces each) black beans, drained
3 jars (15 to 16 ounces each) medium salsa
32 ounces guacamole
16 ounces shredded Mexican blend cheese
3 bags (13 ounces each) tortilla chips. Extra credit for lime flavor!
In a medium pot, over medium-high heat, stir chiles in with refried beans and cook till hot, about 5 minutes, set aside to cool. Mix 2 tablespoons taco seasoning in with the sour cream.
7-layer order, from bottom up: refried beans, guacamole, black beans, salsa, sour cream, cheese, onions and olives. Refrigerate till serving.
