Ingredients
- 2 cans of Rosarita refried beans
- 2 Tbsp milk (to soften the beans)
- 4 ripe avocados, mashed (for homemade guacamole) or 1 package of prepared
- guacamole
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 package Lawry's taco seasoning
- 4 to 6 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped
- 6 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
- 1 4oz can sliced black olives, drained
Instructions
- **Prepare the Bean Layer:**
- Blend the refried beans with milk until smooth. This helps in creating a spreadable base layer. Spread this mixture evenly over the base of a 9-inch round plate or a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- **Guacamole Layer:**
- For the next layer, gently spread your mashed avocados or pre-made guacamole over the bean layer. If making guacamole from scratch, consider adding a touch of lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro for extra flavor.
- **Creamy Taco Seasoning Layer:**
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and taco seasoning until well combined. This mixture brings a tangy and spicy flavor that contrasts beautifully with the layers below and above it. Spread this over the guacamole layer.
- **Tomato Layer:**
- Scatter the chopped Roma tomatoes evenly over the creamy taco seasoning layer, adding a fresh and juicy element to the dip.
- **Cheese Layer:**
- Sprinkle your choice of shredded cheese generously over the tomatoes. The cheese will slightly melt over the warm bean layer, adding a gooey texture to the dip.
- **Final Touches:**
- Finish off the dip by adding a layer of sliced green onions and then black olives. These add a crisp bite and a briny contrast to the creamy layers.
