A seven-layer dip is an American appetizer based on ingredients typical of Tex-Mex cuisine.
The first widely published recipe (1981, Family Circle magazine) called it Tex-Mex Dip without reference to any layers.
The dish was popular in Texas for some time before the recipe first appeared in print.
Originally served with corn chips, seven-layer dip is now served most often with tortilla chips.
