Layered Mexican Dip

Teresa Ambra

Layered Mexican Dip is a delightful Tex-Mex recipe. This scrumptious appetizer has many different versions and layers available. On top of that it is just so quick and easy to prepare. I’ve made this for potluck’s, tailgate-type parties, and have even eaten it at bridal and baby showers.

One of the things I like about this recipe is you can whip it up in about 10 minutes! No kidding. Layered Mexican Dip is a great appetizer for company–especially if you’re not going to be eating for awhile. This will sure stave off hunger! It’s also great to offer along with hamburgers, hotdogs or chicken on the grill.

The first time I had this recipe was when my niece, Heather, made it for us one night when her husband was grilling out for us. We don’t get to see my sister and all her clan very often–maybe once a year or so. But we sure enjoy those times when we do get to see each other. Almost always it involves good food.

Phillis and I both love to cook and both of us have passed on that trait to our kids as well. I have collected quite a few recipes from Heather over the years, including this one, and all are amazing!

I have multiple variations of this recipe.  Some with more layers like my Jalapeno Taco Party Appetizer. But this one is the quickest and easiest of all. This is a delicious appetizer to make in a jiffy. Consider making up a batch of this wonderful Layered Mexican Dip the next time you need to bring an appetizer somewhere. It will be wolfed down in no time!

Add salsa. You don’t have to measure it out exactly. I think I use between 1-2 cups. Just cover the sour cream well.
