Dairy Free 7 Layer Taco Dip - Danielle Walker
This Dairy-Free, 7-Layer Taco Dip is a gluten-free rendition of a childhood staple. I grew up always being tasked to make and bring this Tex-Mex layered dip to all of the football game parties in our neighborhood. It’s typically made with layers of refried beans and sour cream but this paleo version can pack all of the flavors without legumes or dairy if you choose! It’s an easy party snack to make in advance, and it almost gets better with time in the fridge!

I created this version to work better for my dietary restrictions and my whole family loves it! For the beans, I either use my veggie-based remake from Eat What You Love, or Siete brand refried black beans. Instead of sour cream, I mix up a little dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free cream cheese with my Healthy in a Hurry Taco Seasoning.

I tolerate sheep’s milk cheese, so that is what I shred on top (Lambchopper by Cypress Grove is the BEST), but you can use your favorite dairy-free cheese for this as well.

 

I like my taco seasoning on the mild side. I created my own version that has just the right amount of kick while being free from additives and anti-caking agents. If you’d like to make it yourself from scratch, I have the full recipe in my new Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook. But if you’d like the convenience of ready-made, you can buy my signature Taco Seasoning as part of my Danielle’s Favorites Trio. It’s organic and Whole30 approved.

    Hi there, Looks great! Where does the avocado oil or mayonnaise go?
    Do you mix with the sour cream/yoghurt layer?

    Hi Danielle! (and team:))
    I am with you on the taco seasoning being mild, especially with my littles. I have your new cook book and am so excited to make your seasoning. I find that the heat level depends heavily on the brand of chili powder. What chili seasoning do you recommend? Most I find are too spicy.
