Instructions
To make the dip:
-
Preheat oven to 350º F. Lightly spray a 9-inch cheesecake (springform) pan with cooking spray.
-
Pulse 4 cups of the corn chips in a food processor to small crumbs; with the machine running, add the melted butter and pulse until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1-inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
-
Stir together the refried beans and taco seasoning, then smooth the mixture into the baked crust. Layer the remaining ingredients: avocado dip, sour cream, olives, tomatoes, and chilies. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 8 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, top with the shredded cheese and serve with the remaining corn chips for dipping.

Fritos as a crust? When I first saw this recipe I had to do a few double takes because I seriously thought that it had rice on the bottom. lol, This recipe is ingenious...and I can't wait to make it! Does the crust actually stay together like a normal crust would, or is it more crumbly?

There are so many things to love about this dip, it's hard to know where to begin. Guacamole? A huge hit! Mexican food is a favorite at my house, so including so many scrumptious foods all in one dip - and that CRUST! - well, it didn't last long!

The "crust" on this dip made it really unique in my book! Crushed chips as the base of a Mexican 7-layer dip... genius!

I'm not big on layered dips. I prefer enjoying one thing at a time. But I made this for a housewarming and people loved it.

There were so many layers in this dip, so every bite was a little bit different. Yum!

Good idea for hosting a party. I'll just leave out the olives next time, I think.

Oh my goodness, how have I never seen something like this before? It just makes logical sense to combine literally all of the delicious Mexican dips into one SUPER DIP. Guac, salsa, sour cream, beans, cheese, and more . . . sign me up!

This dip was great! I would make it without the olives, but everything else paired together perfectly.
