It’s delicious, filling, simple…. and pretty. What’s not to love about this dip? I love how this trifle bowl displays all the different layers and colors! This recipe makes enough for a crowd and is excellent to bring to potlucks and get togethers!
Don’t have a trifle? You certainly can use a 9×13 pan!

This is delicious and I put it in a pizza pan so it is easy to get through to all layers will the dip of your chip or with a spoon.
Thanks for the useful recipe Janelle! I am a recent follower of your lovely blog and this will be useful for me to start cooking Mexican again.
I just wrote about making pico de gallo (a fresh salsa!). This looks yummy too! I can’t wait to give it a try!
