Instructions

Prepare and Pipe Refried Beans: In a bowl, combine the 16 ounces of refried beans with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, mixing well until fully blended. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag, snip about 1 inch off the tip, and pipe the beans into the bottoms of clear party cups. Use an offset spatula to smooth the surface for an even layer.
Add Guacamole Layer: Fill another piping bag with 1 cup of guacamole, snip the tip, and carefully squeeze the guacamole over the bean layer in each cup. Gently tap the cups to help settle and even out this layer.
Layer Sour Cream: Place 1 cup of sour cream into a piping bag, snip the end, and pipe it evenly over the guacamole in each cup. Smooth the top using a clean offset spatula for a neat finish.
Layer Salsa: Fill a piping bag with 1 cup of salsa or pico de gallo, snip the end, and squeeze it over the sour cream layer. Tap the cups gently to help the salsa layer settle evenly.
Top with Cheese and Garnishes: Sprinkle 1 cup of finely shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa layer. Finish by garnishing with sliced green onions, freshly chopped cilantro, diced Roma tomatoes, and sliced black olives to complete the 7-layer presentation. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Using piping bags helps create neat, distinct layers and an attractive presentation.
These cups can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but add fresh garnishes just before serving.
Feel free to customize garnishes or salsa to suit your taste preferences.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a standalone appetizer for parties.
