Ingredients for 7 Layer Dip Burritos

8 flour tortillas (burrito-sized, warmed for easier folding)
2 cans (16 ounces each) refried beans (substitute with black beans or pinto beans if preferred)
1 cup guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
2 tomatoes, diced (remove seeds for less moisture)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or use a Mexican blend for extra flavor)
1 cup light sour cream (substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded (or use romaine for added crunch)
6 ounces black olives, sliced (optional, omit if not a fan)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the refried beans: Place the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until hot and spreadable.
Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of refried beans evenly over the tortilla.
Layer the toppings: Add a layer of guacamole, followed by diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and sliced black olives.
Fold the burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Cut and serve: Slice the burrito in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Spice It Up: Sauce and Topping Ideas

Take your 7 Layer Dip Burritos to the next level with extra flavor! Add a drizzle of spicy salsa or chipotle mayo for a kick. For a fresh twist, try pickled jalapeños or a squeeze of lime juice. If you love heat, sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes or a dollop of hot sauce before folding your burrito.

Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions

These burritos are a meal on their own, but they pair wonderfully with tortilla chips and extra guacamole or salsa for dipping. For a lighter side, serve with a zesty corn salad or a simple green salad. If you’re hosting, cut the burritos into smaller pieces for easy-to-share appetizers!

Make-Ahead Magic: Storage and Reheating

Prepped ahead? Wrap your burritos tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm in a skillet over medium heat for a crispy exterior. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped burritos for up to 1 month—just thaw and reheat when ready to enjoy!

Mix It Up: Recipe Variations

Customize your burritos to suit your taste! Swap refried beans for black beans or pinto beans for a different texture. Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option, or add grilled chicken or shredded beef for extra protein. Vegetarian? Skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.

Quick Tips for Busy Cooks

Save time by using pre-shredded lettuce and pre-sliced olives from the store. Warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to fold. If you’re short on time, skip heating the beans—just spread them cold and enjoy a no-cook version!
