Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning, divided
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole or 2 ripe avocados mashed with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes, seeded
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Season the Beans: In a medium bowl, mix the refried beans with 2 teaspoons of the taco seasoning until well combined to create a flavorful base layer.
- Layer the Beans: Spread the seasoned beans evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch serving dish, ensuring a smooth, compact layer.
- Prepare Sour Cream Layer: In another bowl, stir the sour cream with the remaining taco seasoning until smooth, then carefully spread it over the bean layer to add creamy spice.
- Spread Guacamole: Gently spread the guacamole over the sour cream layer to form the third layer, adding freshness and creaminess.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the guacamole, followed by a layer of shredded lettuce, then diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions, building vibrant layers.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a layer of salsa between the sour cream and guacamole.
- To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole layer before chilling.
- This dip can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance for convenience.
