Ingredients
Scale
Layers
- 16 ounces refried beans
- 3 ripe avocados (mashed)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, or Mexican blend)
- ½ cup black olives (sliced)
- ½ cup green onions (chopped)
To Serve

Instructions
- Layer Refried Beans: Spread refried beans evenly as the first layer in a large serving dish. An 8-inch square glass dish works perfectly to hold all the layers.
- Prepare Guacamole Layer: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados and mix in fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Spread this guacamole mixture gently over the refried bean layer.
- Mix Sour Cream and Seasoning: Combine the sour cream with the taco seasoning until well blended. Carefully spread this creamy mixture over the guacamole layer.
- Add Salsa Layer: Spoon and spread the salsa evenly over the sour cream layer to add fresh, tangy flavor.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend over the salsa layer to add richness.
- Top with Olives and Green Onions: Scatter sliced black olives and chopped green onions on top of the cheese layer for a savory and colorful finish.
- Serve: Serve the dip chilled or immediately with tortilla chips for dipping and enjoying.
Notes
- Chilling the dip for one hour before serving enhances and melds the flavors beautifully.
- Add cooked, seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken for a heartier, meatier version of this dip.
- Try different cheese options like Monterey Jack, pepper jack for a spicy kick, or a Mexican cheese blend for varied flavor.
- Use dairy-free sour cream and cheese substitutes to make a dairy-free version of this dip.
