Ingredients
  

  • 1 16-ounce can refried beans
  • 1 cup guacamole (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced olives
  • 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 2 sliced green onions

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In your 9x13-inch dish, start by spreading the refried beans evenly across the bottom. This will be your first layer and provide a hearty base for the dip.
  2. Next, carefully layer the guacamole over the refried beans. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring every corner is covered.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream with the taco seasoning. Mix well until fully incorporated. Then, spread this mixture over the guacamole layer.
  4. Gently pour the salsa over the sour cream layer. Be careful to spread it evenly without mixing the layers beneath.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the salsa layer, creating a cheesy, delicious topping.
  6. Next, evenly distribute the sliced olives and cherry tomatoes over the cheese layer. Their vibrant colors will add a fresh touch to your dip.
  7. Finally, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top for a burst of flavor and a pop of green.

Notes

  • Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese for added flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness.
