How To Make Easy 7 Layer Dip Cups

Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Spoon about two tablespoons of refried beans into the bottom of each cup. Add a layer of guacamole followed by the seasoned sour cream, about two tablespoons each per cup.

Step 4: Top each cup with chopped tomatoes (3–4 per cup), one tablespoon of shredded Mexican cheese blend, 3–4 chopped black olives, and a few slices of green onion. Optionally, add a tortilla chip to each cup for garnish.
