individual seven layer dip ingredients in cups with a tortilla chip

 

I love love love 7 Layer Dip… the day after the party, this is always the first thing I go for!  I just can’t even believe how cute and easy these are!

A few little tips for this recipe:

  • The milk is added to the beans to soften them up
  • Allow the salsa to drain while you are preparing the other ingredients
  • If you don’t want to use store-bought guacamole, you can squish up an avocado with a little lime juice and finely diced onion
  • You only use a portion of the taco mix here, just store the rest for next time
  • Chips, Baked Tortillas, Crackers and even veggies are all great dippers

If you’d like to make these ahead of time, prepare all of the “layers” the night before and on the day of you can quickly layer up the cups!  These are perfect to serve at any party or gathering… say perhaps a Superbowl Party!!!  I like to serve them with little spoons to make it easy to scrape out the bottom of the cup!

  1. Loved this! it was fun, yummy, and a big hit at the picnic. Your taco seasoning is delicious. I used it on my
    oven baked chicken.
    Thank you!5 stars

    1. Hi Sheryl, there are two ways to get the recipe. You can scroll down towards the bottom of the post or use the jump to recipe button at the top. Hope that helps!

    1. I used 8oz cups but any cups will work. If you see cups that are a bit wider (or even little bowls) those work too. I check the dollar store to see what they have and also grab little spoons for serving if they’re deeper.

  2. Love 7-layer dip, and I love the idea of individual servings even more! So perfect for game day parties coming up. Thanks for this recipe!5 stars

  3. These are such a great idea. Love that it is portable for carrying around a party. Seems like it would be less mess than a traditional 7 layer dip too!5 stars

  4. This looks fantastic. We were thinking of doing a taco party for my sons graduation and this looks like it would be better. More portion control and less time the day of the party messing with food. I have a question though, Has anyone tried it with ground beef that has been mixed with seasoning. Would it work with a small layer of meat in the cup? wasn’t sure because it would end up being served as cold meat but I know people love meat in tacos. Give me your thoughts please. I don’t want it to come out wrong or get anyone sick
    Thanks!

    1. If you were thinking a chilled beef mixture, you can put the beef on the bottom and keep them on ice (would be cute for presentation). If you were thinking a hot beef mixture, you can put it on the bottom as well and possibly use mason jars in water in a slow cooker to keep it hot.

  5. I had these at a super bowl party yesterday. They were in smaller cups though. I think the bigger cups is the way to go. Happy Monday!

  6. looks delicious. something i must try. i have seen several of these on pinterest – need to get to it asap. thank for the info. take care. ( :
