Here's a healthy and adorable way to serve this Mexican Seven Layer Dip Cups
Equipment
- Plastic Clear Footed Cups to create individual servings ( 9 oz. plastic water glasses) from Dollar Tree
Ingredients
- 1 can fat free refried beans I added garlic powder to the refried beans
- 1/2 container low fat sour cream can sub with plain greek yogurt
- 1 jar salsa you will only need a little bit, any brand, mild, medium or hot
- 2 ounces 2% shredded mexican blend cheese any shredded cheese will work
- 1 tbsp sliced black olives
- 1/4 package shredded lettuce
- 1 stalk green onion use only the green part
- 5 9oz. plastic water glasses from Dollar Tree
- 1 bag organic yellow corn tortilla strips I used Whole Foods Brand
Instructions
- In the botton of each glass, put 2 tablespoons of refried beans and make a smooth layer
- On top of the refried beans, put 2 tablespoons of sour cream and make a smooth layer
- On top of the sour cream, gently put 2 teaspoons of salsa and make a smooth layer
- On top of the sour cream, with your finders, gently arrange a thin layer of lettuce
- Top the lettuce with a few sliced olives
- To the olives, add some slices of green onion
- Garnish each cup with tortilla strips and place the remaining tortilla ships in a bowl for dipping
- Enjoy
Notes
I added garlic powder to the refried beans and sometimes add cayenne for a little kick of heat. I've also added taco or fajita mix to the refried beans for a bolder flavor. Other options to try are adding guacamole, jalapeño or bell peppers instead of the olives. As with any recipe, the options are up to your taste and creativity.
