7-Layer Flag Dip
7-Layer Flag Dip is perfect for Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July or any time you want to share your summer patriotic festivities with family and friends.
Equipment
- 9 x 13-inch rectangular dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream, divided (See Tip 1)
- 1 ounce package Taco Seasoning Mix
- 1 ½ cups grape tomatoes, sliced in half, lengthwise
- 16 ounce Can fat-free refried beans
- 16 ounce container guacamole
- 16 ounce jar salsa, drained
- 1 ¼ cups (5 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (See Tip 2)
- ½ cup crushed blue tortilla chips
Instructions
- Combine 1 ¾ cups of sour cream with taco seasoning mix. Reserve the remaining ¼ cup of sour cream for later use.
- Slice grape tomatoes in half, lengthwise.
- Spread refried beans on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch dish. Top with guacamole, drained salsa, and sour cream mixed with taco seasoning mix.
- Mark an area at the top left of the sour cream layer, approximately 5 ¼ inches by 4 ½ inches. This area is for the star layer.
- Place a single layer of sliced grape tomatoes, lengthwise, at the long end of the bottom of the dish. Place a second layer approximately 1 ½-inches from the first layer. Place the third and fourth layers of sliced tomatoes up to the area marked off for the star layer, each 1 ½ inches apart.
- Place shredded Monterey Jack cheese between the tomato layers for the white stripes.
- In the top-left area that was marked off, sprinkle crushed blue tortilla chips. Place the remaining ¼ cup of sour cream in a piping bag fitted with a 1M star tip. Pipe white stars on the crushed blue tortilla chips. (See Tips 3 and 4)
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with tri-colored tortilla chips. (See Tip 5)
- Yield: 12 servings.
Tips/Notes
- I used low-fat sour cream.
- You could also use Mozzarella cheese, white Cheddar cheese of other white cheese of your choice.
- If the sour cream seems a bit runny, thicken it with about 1 ½ teaspoons of corn starch. You want the stars to hold their shape.
- You could also use a smaller star tip.
- If you're unable to find tri-colored tortilla chips, use regular tortilla chips.
