Ingredients:

For the Taco Seasoned Ground Beef Layer:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (ensure it’s keto-friendly or make your own)
  • 1/4 cup water

For the Creamy Avocado Layer:

  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sour Cream Layer:

  • 1 cup keto-friendly sour cream

For the Cheese Layer:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a Mexican blend)

For the Salsa Layer:

  • 1 cup sugar-free salsa

For the Fresh Vegetable Layer:

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

For Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Green onions, sliced

Instructions:

Step 1: Taco Seasoned Ground Beef Layer

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and water. Simmer until the mixture thickens, creating a flavorful taco-seasoned beef layer. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Creamy Avocado Layer

In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados, and incorporate lime juice, salt, and pepper. Ensure a smooth and well-seasoned avocado layer that will bring a creamy contrast to the dip. Set aside.

Step 3: Sour Cream Layer

Spread a layer of keto-friendly sour cream over the cooled taco-seasoned ground beef, creating a luscious and tangy stratum. The sour cream provides a cooling element to balance the bold flavors.

Step 4: Cheese Layer

Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend over the sour cream layer. The cheese will melt slightly into the layers below, binding the elements together.

Step 5: Salsa Layer

Spread a layer of sugar-free salsa over the cheese, infusing the dip with the classic salsa flavor without the added carbs. This layer adds a refreshing kick to every bite.

Step 6: Fresh Vegetable Layer

Evenly distribute shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives over the salsa layer. This fresh vegetable layer introduces crispness and a burst of color to the dip.

Step 7: Garnishing

Finish your Keto 7-Layer Taco Dip with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and sliced green onions. These garnishes not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute an extra layer of flavor.
