I love Mexican food. I also love easy recipes and ones that don’t require any cooking. This recipe is similar to 7 layer dip and makes a perfect party food. My siblings (okay, maybe me too) even enjoy having it for a simple supper.

The layer of sliced avocados is the perfect twist that most people haven’t experienced in a dip before. Make it ahead of time and store in the fridge and you have one less thing to worry about the day of your party.

Don’t forget to find all the recipes for layer dips with an international flair here.

Recipes for 5 different layer dips with flavors from around the world - Indian, Oriental, Mediterranean, Mexican and Italian. They are soo addicting. Great option for Super Bowl or other gatherings.

You are supposed to bring a dish or appetizer to share, but your week is packed so you need something quick and easy that you can make ahead of time. Or perhaps you are in the mood for a light snacky dinner. It might be that you don’t want to turn the oven on.

Whatever the reason, layered dips that are excellent chilled or room temperature fit the bill perfectly. They are easy, fun, different, and flavorful.

The five Fridays in January we are going to take a trip around the globe and enjoy layered dips with Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean, Oriental, and Italian twists.

As each post becomes live, I’ll link to it here. (First two pictures are now linked to their recipe!)

First up will be my favorite way to enjoy a Mexican Layer dip on January 3rd.
