Seven Layer Burritos

I know Cinco de Mayo has come and gone, and this dinner would be perfect for that, but I am still super excited about today’s recipe anyway!

Seven Layer Burritos

These seven layer burritos are just like the seven layer dip (refried beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and olives), but wrapped up and contained into a flour tortilla shell. It was so simple, yet flavorful, and a great switch from our normal dinners.

My husband and I really enjoyed the mini recipes within this full recipe for the guacamole and pico de gallo as well. They were both really good and great to scoop up onto a chip for a snack.

Seven Layer Burritos

If you’re stumped about what to make for dinner tonight, you could even go straight to the store, buy pico de gallo/salsa and guacamole instead of making it yourself, to throw these seven layer burritos together. This dinner really could not get any easier! Loved it!
