Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 cup prepared guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup salsa, drained well
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and taco seasoning until combined. This is your seasoned sour cream layer.
- Select a clear, shallow serving dish, about 9×13 inches, to show the layers.
- Spread the refried beans evenly over the bottom of the dish. This is layer one.
- Gently spread the guacamole over the beans. This is layer two.
- Spread the seasoned sour cream mixture evenly over the guacamole. This is layer three.
- Spoon the drained salsa over the sour cream layer. This is layer four.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the salsa. This is layer five.
- Distribute the diced tomato over the cheese layer. This is layer six.
- Top with the sliced black olives. This is layer seven.
- Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
Notes
- To keep the guacamole from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before adding the next layer.
- Drain your salsa thoroughly; excess liquid will make the dip watery.
- Serve this party layered dip with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
