Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch serving dish

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce can refried beans
  • 4.5 ounce can green chiles drained
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 1/2 cups guacamole
  • 16 ounce jar chunky tomato salsa, slightly drained
  • 2 1/2 cups sour cream

  • Chopped fresh Cilantro, for garnish optional
  • Corn chips for serving

Instructions

  • Mix the beans, green chiles and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning in a bowl until well combined.
Spread refried beans in an even layer in the bottom of your serving dish.
  • Spread the guacamole in an even layer on top of the bean layer.
  • Top the guacamole with the salsa.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, remaining taco seasoning lime zest and lime juice. Spread in an even layer on top of the salsa.
  • Top the sour cream layer with the lettuce.
 Sprinkle Monterey jack and cheddar in an even layer over the lettuce.
  • Finish by topping with tomatoes, black olives and cilantro, if using.
  • Serve with corn chips.

Notes

  • Drain excess liquid from the salsa to keep the dip from becoming watery.
  • The dip can be assembled a few hours ahead, covered and refrigerated until serving.
  • For longer make-ahead prep, prepare the individual layers separately and assemble closer to serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for the best texture.
  • Freezing is not recommended.
  • Refried black beans can be substituted for traditional refried beans.
  • Thick plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
  • Add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
