Ingredients
Scale
Layers
- 1 can refried beans (about 16 oz)
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a serving dish, spread the refried beans evenly to form the bottom layer of the dip. This will serve as a hearty and flavorful base.
- Layer Guacamole: Carefully spread the guacamole over the refried beans, ensuring an even and smooth layer for creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Add Sour Cream: Gently spread the sour cream over the guacamole layer to add a tangy and smooth element to the dip.
- Pour Salsa: Evenly spread the salsa on top of the sour cream, contributing a fresh, zesty kick to the layers.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa layer to add a rich and melty contrast in flavor and texture.
- Add Tomatoes: Scatter diced tomatoes on top of the cheese to introduce freshness and mild sweetness to the dip.
- Top with Olives and Onions: Finish by sprinkling sliced black olives and chopped green onions over the tomatoes to provide a briny and aromatic final touch.
- Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping. For best results, keep chilled until serving.
Notes
- You can customize the layers by adding jalapeños for extra heat or substituting cheddar cheese with a Mexican cheese blend.
- Prepare the dip a few hours in advance and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld, but add fresh toppings like green onions just before serving.
- Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative.
- Serve with a variety of dippers such as pita chips, veggie sticks, or tortilla chips.
