Ingredients:
- 1 (16 ounce) can of refried beans
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 packet of taco seasoning mix
- 2 avocados, pitted, peeled, and mashed
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves of garlic, freshly minced
- 4 green onions, diced
- ½ cup black olives, sliced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
- Prepare the Bean Layer: In a 9 or 10-inch clear dish, spread the refried beans evenly as the first layer.
- Mix the Sour Cream Layer: In a bowl, combine the taco seasoning with the sour cream until well blended. Spread this mixture over the refried beans.
- Create the Guacamole: In another bowl, mix the mashed avocados with the minced garlic and lemon juice. This adds a zesty freshness to the guacamole. Layer the guacamole over the sour cream mixture.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the guacamole. Then, evenly distribute the black olives and diced Roma tomatoes on top of the cheese.
- Garnish: For a final touch, scatter the diced green onions over the tomatoes. This adds a pop of color and a mild spicy crunch.
- Serve: Chill the dip in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors meld together beautifully, or serve immediately if you can’t wait. Provide plenty of tortilla chips for dipping.
