Seasonal Summer Summer Appetizer Summer Dip Individual Seven-Layer Dip in Jars with Baked Tortilla Chips Be the first to rate & review! These little jars are like nachos for the road—with plenty of protein from zesty black beans and taco-spiced Greek yogurt, heart-healthy fats from avocado and a little crunch from toasted corn. Homemade baked tortilla strips are a perfect dip delivery system; their length helps you dig out every last bite from the portable jars.

Line two large rimmed baking sheets with foil or parchment paper. Brush tortillas with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon taco (or chile-lime) seasoning. Stack the tortillas and cut them into 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Arrange in an even layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 minutes, flip the strips and continue to bake until crisp and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, combine beans and 1/4 cup salsa in a medium bowl. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Spoon into the bottom of 8 half-pint (1-cup) canning jars or small airtight containers. Spoon the remaining 1 cup salsa in a layer over the beans. Combine yogurt and the remaining 1 teaspoon taco (or chile-lime) seasoning in a small bowl. Spoon over the salsa in the jars. Mash avocado with lime juice in the same bowl and spoon into the jars over the yogurt mixture. Divide cheese among the jars. Top off each jar with tomato, scallions and toasted corn nuggets (or "nuts"). Screw or lock lids on the containers. Serve with the tortilla strips. To make ahead Refrigerate dip for up to 2 days. Store chips airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
