Ingredient Notes

Cream Cheese + Sour Cream: This creates a rich, creamy foundation that balances the bold taco flavors.
Avocados: Fresh and ripe avocados provide healthy fats and creamy texture.
Salsa: Always check labels for hidden sugars to keep this recipe fully keto.
Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds depth and that irresistible cheesy pull.

Each layer works together to create the perfect bite — creamy, tangy, crunchy, and savory.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Creamy Taco Base

In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth and fluffy. The texture should be creamy and spreadable with no lumps.

Spread evenly into the bottom of your baking dish. This is the flavorful foundation of your Keto 7 Layer Taco Dip.

Step 2: Prepare the Guacamole Layer

Mash avocados with lime juice and a pinch of salt until creamy but slightly chunky. Spread gently over the cream cheese layer.

The bright green color instantly makes the dip look fresh and vibrant.

Step 3: Add the Salsa

Spoon the salsa evenly over the guacamole. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread without mixing the layers.

This adds juicy, zesty flavor and beautiful contrast.

Step 4: Sprinkle the Cheese

Evenly distribute shredded cheddar over the salsa layer. This creates a rich, cheesy blanket that ties everything together.

Step 5: Add Fresh Crunch

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced olives. These final layers add freshness, crunch, and that classic taco vibe.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with keto tortilla chips, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips.

Each scoop should capture all seven delicious layers in one bite!

Serving Suggestion

This dip pairs perfectly with:

• Keto tortilla chips
• Pork rinds
• Celery sticks
• Bell pepper strips
• Cucumber slices

You can even use it as a taco bowl base by adding seasoned ground beef on top for a heartier option.

Pro Tips & Variations

For extra protein, add a layer of seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken between the cream cheese and guacamole. Want it spicier? Mix hot sauce into the base or add diced jalapeños. Prefer a dairy-free version? Swap cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative and use plant-based sour cream.

If prepping ahead, wait to add lettuce and tomatoes until just before serving to keep them crisp. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Because of the avocado, it’s best enjoyed fresh.

Storage Information

• Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 2 days
• Freezing: Not recommended (texture changes)
• Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare base layers 24 hours in advance
