This 9 Layer Mexican Dip is a crowd pleaser.
Today, we’ve got another Healthy Super Bowl Dip – a 9 Layer Mexican Super Bowl “Quacktastic” Dip (my son loves ducks). Yup 9 layers – you got it! This dip is really easy to make and can be made even easier by purchasing prepared guacamole and using leftover taco meat or chili. Of course, if you’re feeling ambitious, feel free to make your own salsa, guacamole and pickled jalapeno peppers (just cook sliced jalapeno peppers in vinegar for a few minutes). Check out my video on How To Make Guacamole if you want to make your own – it’s really easy.
This is a healthier dip for Super Bowl, with vegetarian refried beans (so no unhealthy fats), a leaner taco meat made with turkey, low-fat shredded cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, and fresh vegetables (red bell peppers, avocados, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos).
When my son and I sat down the other day to come up with the layers in this dip, I listed out all the possibilities and this is what he came up with:
- Refried Beans (vegetarian)
- Chopped Red Bell Peppers
- Turkey Taco Meat
- Salsa and Fresh Tomatoes
- Shredded Cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Guacamole
- Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
- Pickled Jalapeno Peppers
- Chopped Red Onions and Scallions
This dip is both hot and cold, with the first five ingredients layered, then heated until the cheese is nice and gooey, then topped with creamy guacamole, taco flavored Greek yogurt, spicy pickled jalapeno peppers, and crunchy red onions and scallions. 
Remember – choose your dippers wisely. We’ve been enjoying all our dips with Food That Tastes Good Multigrain Tortilla Chips (I bought a huge bag from Costco’s).
We’re hosting our first Google+ Live Cooking Demonstration today at 4PM EST. It’s now on YouTube so take a look to see how easy this dip is to make.

I love layered dips like this! I am also a big fan of using the greek yogurt to help keep it healthy! Looks perfect for Sunday. 🙂
I love 7 layer bean dip, but haven’t had it in ages (you know ’cause it’s not so healthy most of the time). This on the other hand sounds absolutely delightful and I especially and charged up about the taco spiced yogurt! Great idea.
Such a perfect dip! Totally making this for the SuperBowl!
Now I wish I were planning a Super Bowl party — this would be a great treat!
I always love the clips of your little helpers!
Layered dips are such a party staple–I love that you managed to lighten this one up a bit. Then I can eat even more! 😀
looks fabulous Jeanette
Can go wrong with a layered dip! The perfect way to please party attendees!
I love dips like this. I could eat them all the time.
