The base of this Healthier Seven Layer Taco Dip starts with a layer of refried beans. In this recipe, we use a low-sodium version to cut down on the amount of added salt. Then, we layer on a mixture of Greek yogurt and taco seasoning in place of traditional sour cream, adding a tangy kick with a fraction of the fat.
Next comes a generous layer of guacamole, made with ripe avocados, lime juice, and a dash of salt. This creamy, flavorful addition is a perfect contrast to the tangy yogurt layer. Then, we add a layer of diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños for a fresh, crunchy element.
A sprinkle of reduced-fat shredded cheese comes next, providing that cheesy, gooey goodness that we all love. And finally, the dip is topped off with a handful of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, adding a burst of brightness to the dish.
