SEVEN-LAYER DIP



Seven-Layer Dip image

For this recipe, the traditional 7-layer dip has been revisited so that each layer is good enough to eat on its own, but isn't so much effort that the whole thing can't be finished in 20 minutes. The order of the layers offers some delightful moments, like where the cheese melts into the warm refried beans or where the cool sour cream meets the fiery salsa. Cilantro and scallions serve as a refreshing counterpoint, and Fritos lend added crunch. No need to dig out your trifle bowl: A platter with a lip is preferred here for easier scooping.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

3/4 cup sour cream

2 medium ripe avocados
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup freshly grated Cheddar (about 4 ounces)

3/4 cup good-quality, store-bought red salsa, fresh or jarred and any heat level (drained if watery)
1/2 cup Fritos or corn nuts, crumbled
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2 scallions)
1/4 cup tightly packed cilantro leaves
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:
