Spooky 7-Layer Bean Dip
I’m pretty sure I’ve been making bean dips since I was a teenager. It has some of my favorite ingredients – black beans, guacamole, tomatoes, cheese, and more – does it get better?
This recipe is a perfect appetizer to bring to any gathering, game day or to simply devour on your own. But, since it’s nearly Halloween, I needed to kick this up a notch and make it spooky and fun by turning it into a graveyard by adding tortilla tombstones, creepy trees and cats.
This dish is packed with fun layers of fresh flavor and the ingredients are simple and blend together perfectly. You can use a variety of layers based on your liking, but these are my favorites.

I hope you enjoy!

How to Make a Spooky 7-Layer Bean Dip
Start by mixing the can of refried beans in a bowl with the juice of ½ a lime and salt and pepper. Once combined, spread beans on the bottom of your dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream with taco seasoning and spread that mixture on top of your beans.
Next is the guacamole. You can use store bought, pre-packaged guac or make your own favorite mixture. Spread carefully over the sour cream mixture.
Finally, top your dip with cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives and shredded lettuce (to mimic grass in your graveyard.
Now the fun part. Take your tortillas and a paring knife to cut out your favorite spooky shape. I used tombstones, a cat and creepy tree. Place your tortillas on a baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Flip bake another 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Once cooled, place tortillas on top of your dip to create your scary graveyard!
