This [seven layer dip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-terra-fina-southwest-fiesta) is served in [individual plastic cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes-2), which helps avoid double dipping and people's hands from getting into the main serving dish. The ingredients needed to make these include, re-fried beans, taco seasoning, [guacamole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guacamole-chip-dip-snack-pot), sour cream, salsa and some diced tomatoes, olives and other seasonings. You simply layer the cup with each ingredient and top it off with a nacho. This is also a great idea for those who are trying to watch their weight, as it limits the portion size. Although this may take some time to put together, the final product is incredibly appealing, and is sure to impress your guests. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Individualized Serving:** Individualized serving options can provide unique experiences for guests while reducing the risk of cross-contamination. - **Layered Dips:** Layered dips are a creative and customizable way to elevate party snacks. - **Portion Control:** Individual serving sizes can help promote portion control and reduce food waste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Catering and Events:** Catering and event companies can incorporate individualized servings and layered dips to offer a unique and impressive food experience. - **Food Packaging:** Food packaging companies can create specialized containers and packaging to showcase layered dips and individual servings. - **Healthy Eating:** Restaurants and food companies can offer healthier options for customers through portion control and showcasing nutrient-dense ingredients in layered dips and individual servings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sombrero-Shaped Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texmex-sombreros.md) - [Hybrid Salsa-Infused Guacamoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guacasalsa.md) - [Chip-Inspired Snack Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-dips.md) - [Multisensory Snack Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specially-selected-loaded-dips.md) - [Effortless Charcuterie Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girl-dinner.md) - [Zesty Avocado Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-dips.md) - [Guilt-Free Double-Dipping Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-dippable-chips.md) - [Flavorful All-Occasion Dip Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deans-dip.md) - [Yogurt-Based Spinach Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reduced-guilt-spinach-kale-greek-yogurt-dip.md)
