Instructions

Season the Beans: In a bowl, combine the 32 ounces of refried beans with 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly seasoned.
Create the Bean Layer: Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 13” x 9” casserole dish, forming the first layer of the dip.
Add Guacamole: Carefully spread 2 cups of guacamole over the bean layer, ensuring an even and smooth coverage.
Layer Sour Cream: Spread 2 cups of sour cream uniformly over the guacamole, creating the creamy third layer.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the sour cream layer to add rich flavor and texture.
Add Tomatoes: Spread 3 cups of fresh diced tomatoes over the cheese, adding a refreshing and juicy component.
Top with Olives and Onions: Garnish with 2.25 ounces of sliced black olives and 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions spread evenly on top for color and flavor contrast.
Chill Before Serving: Cover the casserole dish and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to meld and flavors to develop, making it ready to serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

Use freshly made guacamole or store-bought for convenience.
You can substitute the shredded cheese for a Mexican cheese blend for more authentic flavor.
For a spicier dip, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sour cream layer.
This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
Serve with sturdy tortilla chips to scoop up all the layers effectively.
