Halloween Taco Dip, or the 7-layer dip recipe as most people call it, is the perfect spooky dip for family and friends. Layer all your favorite taco ingredients in one dish and serve at any of the Halloween parties you are attending or hosting this year.

Nothing makes me happier than making fun Halloween treats for my family during spooky season. This great dip was inspired by the popular 7-layer taco dip.

However, I left a few layers out because I'm not too fond of refried beans (like the kind they use for bean dip) and I cannot stand warm lettuce. But, if you like the bean mixture and the lettuce, feel free to add them to this Spider Web Taco Dip.

How to Make Halloween Taco Dip

This fun and festive dip is topped with a sour cream spider web for the holiday. However, if you want to serve this any other time of the year, just leave the spider web off the top.

This dip has always been popular with everyone. They all love the layers and the best part is that it only takes 15 minutes to whip this dish up! I like to serve mine in a 9″ deep dish pie plate, but you can use whatever dish you have on hand.

Check Out the Layers

Layer 1: The first layer of this dish is simply a cream cheese mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning mix.

Layer 2: This layer is the ground beef taco meat. You can also use ground chicken or ground turkey if you want. Just place some ground beef in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Drain the beef, and then add the taco seasoning to it.

Layer 3: the third layer will be the shredded cheese. I like the Taco Fiesta blend, but any of your favorite cheeses will work here.

Layer 4: The fourth layer will be salsa. I like making my own (in fact my most popular recipe on the site is my Pioneer Woman Restaurant Style Salsa). You can also add some diced green chiles in to create a chunky salsa also.

Layer 5: The layer of guacamole is my favorite! You can buy store-bought guacamole or make my Easy Homemade guacamole recipe. Add a squeeze of lime juice to keep it a bright festive green.

Layer 6: The spider web sour cream layer can be as spooky as you want it. No need to be a decorator to do this layer. If I can do it, so can you! If it’s not Halloween, just spread the sour cream over top of the guacamole and serve.

Making the spooky spider web is easy. Put about 1 cup of sour cream in a ziploc bag or a piping bag. Snip off the corner and draw a straight line around in a circle. Then connect the lines to create a web pattern.

Serve This Dip at Your Next Halloween Party

Once you have the taco dip layered, add your favorite taco toppings around the edge. I added black olives, cilantro, cheddar cheese, and green onions. To finish it off, we sprinkled just a little more taco seasoning on top. Grab a bag of tortilla chips and serve! My favorite chip are tortilla chips with a hint of lime. They are SO good!

Cover the dip with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

Top the dip with fake spiders or place them around the edge. If you are crafty, take a whole black olive and turn that into a black olive spider for the middle of your dip. The best part is just having fun with this dip! Of course, you can always use a plastic spider ring and place it in the center of the web. Your partygoers will LOVE it.
