This million layer dip is full of fresh ingredients and multiple layers of Mexican inspired flavors. It's perfect for any party, potluck, or any time really. I like to whip this up and then eat it on Sunday nights while we are watching our favorite shows or football games!

Serve this million layer dip with Air Fryer Tortilla Chips, flour tortillas, or sliced veggies! Make these refreshing Strawberry Basil Margaritas or Pineapple Mojitos to go with this dip!

I've actually made this Million Layer Dip on multiple occasions and everyone always raves about it. I love putting the dip together because it's easy! One secret-ish ingredient that no one ever guesses is the special sour cream blend...I mix the sour cream with taco seasoning with a fun pop of flavor. I wouldn't leave this out because it really adds to the traditional type of layer dip recipe! 

How to make Million Layer Dip:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

  • Prep all of the ingredients and make sure everything is ready to be put together.
  • Using a baking dish or serving platter, spread the refried beans across the bottom in an even layer.
  • In a small bowl combine the sour cream and taco seasoning. Spread this over the top of the refried beans.
  • Next spread the layer of salsa over the top. In layers add the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, colby jack cheese, cotija cheese, green onion, and cilantro (reserving a small amount of each ingredient).
  • In another small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the lime juice. Add mixture to a ziplock bag, snip the corner, then pipe/drizzle the lime cream over the top of the million layer dip. Add the remaining reserved amounts of ingredients.
  • Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes, then serve with warm Tortilla Chips or flour tortillas - enjoy!

Can I add other ingredients or substitute ingredients in this dip?

YES! The great thing about this easy dip recipe is that you can tailor it the way you like it! Adding other ingredients such as avocado, black beans, pico de gallo or onions would all be great!

I highly recommend trying this recipe the next time you are having a get together or need to bring a dish to pass around- everyone will ask you for the recipe!

    Can black beans be substituted for refried beans? Do beans need to be heated if it’s just going to be refrigerated?

      You could definitely use black beans as a substitute! I always heat the beans because it's very hard to spread them when they are cold!

    Can you make it the night before, or is it best to make the same day you serve it?
