What are the 7 layers in this Keto 7 Layer Dip recipe?
- taco meat - ground beef, taco seasoning mix, and crushed tomatoes [recipe here] You can also make this plant-based, see notes below.
- sour cream - the full-fat kind!
- guacamole - use premade for ease
- pico de gallo - use premade or another jarred salsa to save time!

Can I use a different Protein than beef?
Yep! Any ground meat will work perfectly here, as would diced chicken! You could even do a 7 Layer Shrimp Taco Dip!
Can I swap out any of the layers for other ingredients?
Sure thing! Don't like olives? Swap them for halved cherry tomatoes or green onions. Don't have pico de gallo on had? Use any regular sugar-free salsa! Have queso instead of sour cream? Pour it on!
Plant-based options
Two easy steps, right this way 👇
