Tips for Making the Best 3-Layer Dip for Nachos:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dip the best flavor. Use ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, and salsa that is made with fresh tomatoes and peppers.
  • Don't over-mash the avocados: You want the avocados to be creamy, but not mashed to the point of being runny. Leave some small chunks of avocado for texture.
  • Use a good quality salsa: The salsa is one of the key ingredients in this dip, so make sure to use a good one. Look for a salsa that is made with fresh tomatoes and peppers and has a nice balance of flavors.
  • Layer the dip in the correct order: The order of the layers is important to create the best flavor and texture. The bottom layer should be the refried beans, followed by the guacamole, and then the salsa.
  • Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to meld together and will also make the dip easier to scoop.
