Notes
Make ahead instructions:
- You can prepare this recipe as written, but instead of warming in the oven, store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
- You will need to increase the cooking time if the seven layer dip is cold from refrigerator storage to ensure all of the layers get heated through.
Make it a meal!
If you want to serve this as dinner instead of an appetizer, set out warm tortillas or taco shells and turn it into a delicious meal. Likewise you can add crushed tortilla chips to the bottom of a bowl, cover it with the warm taco dip, then add toppings. YUM!Nutrition
