What ingredients do I need for 7 Layer Dip?

This recipe only requires 8 ingredients!

• Refried beans - One can of refried beans will be spread across the bottom of the dish to start the layers of the dip.
• Plain greek yogurt - As a healthier alternative to sour cream, we'll use greek yogurt! It's thick, creamy, and will be mixed with seasoning for the taco layer.
• Taco seasoning - To create extra tex-mex flavors for this dip, we will mix taco seasoning with greek yogurt.
• Guacamole - For the layer of guacamole, you can use store-bought guacamole or make your own!
• Shredded cheddar cheese - One of the layers will be shredded cheese. I use cheddar or mexican, but you can use whatever kind of cheese you like best!
• Diced tomatoes and green chiles - To keep things easy, I use a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles with medium heat.
• Red onion - A layer of red onion is one of the perfect toppings to add some extra crunch to the dip.
• Cilantro - A sprinkle of cilantro is the perfect topping to this recipe!
