A make ahead Mexican dip that looks and tastes delicious as Refried beans are layered with guacamole,sour cream cheese,onions,tomatoes,jalapenos and avocado slices.
Ingredients
- Refried Beans-2 cans 16 oz/454 gms/1lb,each(I used Taco Bell Vegetarian Blend)
- 4 tbsp salsa
- 1 1/2 tsp Taco Seasoning I used Taco Bell brand seasoning packet
- 8 oz sour cream optional,read notes.Omit for vegan option
- 1 cup Guacamole optional,read notes
- 3/4-1 cup shredded Mexican Cheese or any variety Use vegan cheese for vegan option
- 1 chopped onion small
- 1-2 chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce optional
- Few chopped olives cilantro/coriander,Avocado and Jalapeno slices
Instructions
- In a bowl mix refried beans,salsa and taco seasoning.
- In a large rectangular 9*13 pan, spread a layer of the refried beans.
- Mix the sour cream and guacamole together and spread over the beans.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the Sour cream-Guacamole mixture.
- Spread lettuce over the cheese.
- Top with olives,cilantro,jalapeno and Avocado slices.
- Serve with Tortilla chips.
Notes
For a low fat version omit sour cream or use greek yogurt.
Use guacamole only if it will be consumed immediately. I have found mixing guacamole with sour cream prevents guacamole from discoloration.If making ahead for parties, prepare the bean, sour cream/guacamole layer and cheese from before and refrigerate. Layer the chopped vegetables just before serving. Serving in a clear glass container, makes it look pretty as all the layers become visible.
