Dinner Possible: 7-Layer Dip

Note: This post was originally done on March 27, 2010. I'm updating it now to go along with the Meal Ideas video contest I've just submitted.

My 7-layer dip has become somewhat famous among friends. But once, I run around F&E to get the ingredients, I thought maybe I can just try using ALL F&E products and see how it would work out.

And boy, has that worked out! 

Usually, my first layer is non-fat refried beans with Mexican-style cheese blend melted into it. But since I've come to love F&E Cuban Black Bean Dip, I figured, why not? The rest is pretty much the same.

Layer them up however you'd like. I usually like to put sour cream layer OVER the guacamole to help keep the guac from browning a little bit. Optional: let the dip sit in the fridge for an hour for the flavors to meld together. Served with any of F&E Tortilla chips.

Layer 1
1 jar of F&E Cuban Black Bean Dip.

Layer 2
2 tubs of F&E fresh Guacamole.

Layer 3 - The Secret Layer
Mix well 1 big tub of (light) F&E Sour Cream and 1 packet of Lawry's Taco Seasoning. Yep. It's the secret ingredient that makes people go...hmm...what's THAT?

Layer 4
1 container of F&E fresh salsa (mild, medium, or spicy...your choice!)

Layer 5
As much as you like of the F&E Mexican Style Shredded Cheese

Layer 6
2 cans of F&E sliced black olives or 1 can of chopped Black Olives.

Layer 7
Finely sliced green onion to your liking.

Review & Recipe: Oh Salsa Verde, I love you so!

I'm back! Sorry for the long absence, I was out of town for 3 1/2 weeks in an area without Fresh & Easy. And, you know, I am unemployed and freelancing. My exciting F&E purchases lately have been pretty restricted to my DAILY 6 pack of Diet Coke for $2.25.

Last week though, I bought a bunch of stuff to try and replicate my fav local Mexican place's Pork Barbacoa Burrito. (Cafe Rio FTW people. I swear they put crack in it. I could eat it everyday.) I will post my recipe for this tomorrow, but I had to stop in and say: HOLY MOLY the medium hot Fresh & Easy brand Salsa Verde is so good I want to bathe in it, I kid you not.

I made a quick and easy snack the other day. A basic quesedilla with a twist.

INGREDIENTS

• F&E brand flour tortilla (I used burrito size)

• F&E brand shredded Mexican cheese

• F&E brand Salsa Verde, medium

In a skillet, put cheese on half the burrito. Pour Salsa Verde over the cheese. Fold tortilla and heat until golden.

THE. BEST. QUESEDILLA. EVER. Seriously people, it was tangy and had just the right amount of bite. It was a veritable party in my mouth. It takes the basic quesedilla from bland to a gourmet treat.

Verdict: Fresh & Easy Brand Salsa Verde : Nirvana
