Vegan 7 Layer Dip Recipe

7 layers of absolute razzle dazzle. This potluck all-star is stupidly easy to throw together and somehow always the first thing gone. Carnivores will freak out in a good way about this. Vegans will feel seen. Everyone wins.

Ingredients

The Seven Layers:

Optional Garnishes:

  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • ½ jalapeño thinly sliced
  • Cilantro leaves to garnish

Instructions

  • Spread the refried beans evenly across the bottom of a large serving dish or shallow platter.
  • If you aren’t using my tofu chorizo crumbles and need to cook store-bought ones, place a skillet over medium heat and add the vegan chorizo crumbles. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes, then spread evenly over the refried beans.
  • Warm the vegan queso in a saucepan over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until smooth and pourable.  If it feels too thick to spread, add a small amount of plant-based milk or water. Spread evenly over the chorizo layer.
  • Carefully spread the sour cream over the queso in an even layer, followed by the salsa.
  • Spoon the guacamole evenly over the salsa layer.
  • Add an even layer of pico de gallo.
  • Top with black olives, jalapeño slices, and cilantro leaves if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving.

Notes

🧀 Quesora Sera
Piping hot queso will obliterate your sour cream layer and turn your beautiful stripes into one tragic smear. Give it 5 minutes. We do not negotiate with volcanic queso.
🍽️ Spatula-ddy Issues 
A spoon works. An offset spatula makes you look super-competent. Spread from the center outward, light pressure, try not to gasp at yourself.
