7-Layer Tex Mex Dip

This 7-Layer Tex Mex Dip is a favorite appetizer for parties or game day gatherings. It’s a classic dip with a tex mex twist. It has seven delicious layers of bean dip, guacamole, sour cream mixture, shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives, and green onions.

 

This 7-Layer Tex Mex Dip is a favorite appetizer when we have family gatherings, and it’s one of the best 7-layer dips I’ve tasted! Part of the reason I like the taste a lot is because of the Fritos bean dip. I’ve used refried beans many times and it tastes good, but I personally like it so much better when I purchase ready-made bean dip. Here’s the recipe for the 7-Layer Tex Mex Dip.

    Sounds delicious! I love a dip! I just tried Pizza Dip a while back and I love it. It’s quick and easy to make and makes a nice snack. My kids and I are having girls’ night this Friday and this sounds like a good idea.

If food allergies and special diets are causing yo If food allergies and special diets are causing your food budget to really increase, below are 6 tips to help navigate food allergies on a budget.  1. Meal plan and cook from home
Focus on making a list of your family's favorite easy meals and plan your meals based on those. Keep it simple and make it a priority to eat at home.  2. Limit expensive replacements
While there is an abundance of options for substitutes to common food allergies, the expensive replacements increase the amount of money you spend on groceries. Use them sparingly, buy them on sale, or look for ways to buy them in bulk.  3. Price shop
Track the cost of items at multiple stores and online retailers to find the best price, then "stock up" on the items you need.  4. Find out what works for you and stick to it
Narrow down what staple foods you need and like so you don't spend a lot of money experimenting on food that doesn't work for your family.  5. Focus on the inexpensive items you can eat
Make a list of foods you can eat instead of constantly looking for alternatives of foods you can't eat. Foods that might fit in your meal plan and that are inexpensive are oats, potatoes, rice, fruit, vegetables, applesauce, seeds, and legumes.  6. Shop at cheaper stores
Most grocery stores carry specialty foods, so don't just shop at expensive specialty stores like Whole Foods.  #foodallergies #grocerybudgettips #groceryshoppingtips #howtogroceryshop #foodbudget #foodallergybudget
