You can make homemade guacamole or use your favorite prepared version when you need a quicker option.
Serve this Mexican 7 layer dip with tortilla chips, corn chips, fresh bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, or other crunchy vegetables.
For individual party servings, assemble the layers in small clear cups instead of one large casserole dish.
