Description
A layered Tex‑Mex style dip with beans, creamy topping, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and veggies — perfect for chips.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
- 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 (16 oz) container sour cream
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16 oz) jar salsa
- 1 ripe tomato, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 (6 oz) can black olives, drained and sliced
- 2 ripe avocados (for guacamole)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1½ tablespoons lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash avocados with cilantro, lime juice, garlic salt, and pepper to make guacamole; set aside.
- Mix the refried beans and taco seasoning; spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of a large serving dish or platter.
- In another bowl, combine sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth; spread over the bean layer.
- Spoon salsa over the creamy layer.
- Spread the guacamole layer on top of the salsa.
- Layer chopped tomato, bell pepper, green onions, and shredded lettuce evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the veggies.
- Scatter the sliced black olives on top as the final layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- You can omit the lettuce if you prefer a smoother texture.
- If the refried beans are too thick to spread, thin with 1–2 tablespoons of milk or bean liquid.
- Make ahead: assemble up to a day in advance and keep chilled (onion moisture may soften layers over time).
- Optional additions: cooked seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, jalapeños for heat.
