Today is Cinco de Mayo, the day that commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Celebrate the day with this party starting Seven Layer Bean Dip. This dip features seven wonderful layers that include flavorful refried beans, homemade guacamole, sour cream, cheese, onions, olives, and tomatoes. So many wonderful ingredients in just one dish!
