Directions
- Laying the Foundation with Refried Beans: Start by spreading the refried beans evenly at the bottom of your serving dish. This layer provides a hearty base, ensuring every scoop is substantial.
- The Guacamole Layer: Gently spread the freshly made guacamole over the beans. The creaminess of the avocados combined with the tang of lime and the kick of jalapeños ensures a burst of flavors.
- Sour Cream with a Twist: In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream and taco seasoning until well combined. Spread this seasoned sour cream over the guacamole layer, introducing a tangy zest to the mix.
- Salsa Delight: Pour your choice of salsa over the sour cream layer. Whether you prefer it mild, medium, or hot, this layer adds a juicy texture and a spicy punch.
- Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salsa. As it melts, it binds the layers together, adding a rich and gooey texture.
- Olives & Onions: Scatter the sliced black olives and chopped green onions over the cheese. Their contrasting flavors add depth and a touch of freshness.
- Tomato & Jalapeño Finish: Top off your dip with diced tomatoes and sliced jalapeños. This final layer adds a refreshing crunch and an optional fiery kick.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once your masterpiece is complete, serve it with tortilla chips and watch as it becomes the star of any gathering.
