Ingredients

Scale

Layers

  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheese blend (cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bean Base: Smooth refried beans evenly over the bottom of your serving dish or a shallow pan to create a stable, flavorful foundation.
  2. Mix and Spread Sour Cream Layer: Combine sour cream with taco seasoning for a creamy, spiced layer, then gently spread it over the beans to maintain distinct layers.
  3. Add the Guacamole: Spoon a generous layer of fresh guacamole over the sour cream, spreading it evenly to continue building colorful, tasty layers.
  4. Spoon on the Salsa: Spread your favorite salsa over the guacamole, balancing the creamy layers with bright, juicy notes.
  5. Sprinkle Shredded Cheese: Evenly disperse a blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese across the salsa for a melty, sharp finish.
  6. Top with Fresh Veggies: Add diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions as the final decorative and flavorful touches.
  7. Chill and Serve: Cover your layered dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to let flavors marinate and layers set before serving.

Notes

  • Build On Chill: Refrigerate at least one hour to let flavors meld and maintain layer separation.
  • Fresh Is Best: Use fresh guacamole and salsa for vibrant flavor and color contrast.
  • Use a Flat Spatula: To spread each layer evenly without mixing, use a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon gently.
  • Serve Cold: Keep the dip chilled until serving to preserve texture and freshness.
  • Choose Quality Chips: Serve with sturdy tortilla chips that can support scooping multiple layers at once.
