Ingredients
Refried beans (one 16-ounce can or 2 cups homemade)
Diced tomatoes with green chilies (one 10-ounce can), drained
Taco seasoning (1 to 2 tablespoons)
Avocados, medium (3 ripe)
Fresh lime juice (from 1 lime, approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (1/4 cup)
Garlic salt (1 teaspoon)
Sour cream (1 1/2 cups)
Sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded (2 cups)
Black olives, sliced (1/3 cup)
Roma tomatoes, diced (3/4 cup)
Green onions, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the refried beans with the drained diced tomatoes and green chilies, along with the taco seasoning. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Spread this seasoned bean mixture evenly as the first layer in your serving dish.
For the guacamole, mash the ripe avocados in a separate bowl. Incorporate the fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and garlic salt, mixing until you achieve your desired consistency. Carefully spread this vibrant guacamole over the bean layer.
Gently spread the sour cream as the third layer, ensuring it covers the guacamole from edge to edge.
Distribute the finely shredded cheddar cheese uniformly over the sour cream.
Next, scatter the diced Roma tomatoes generously across the cheese layer.
Create the sixth layer with the sliced black olives, arranging them evenly.
Finish your dip by sprinkling the thinly sliced green onions over the top for a fresh, aromatic garnish.
For optimal flavor melding, cover the dip and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving with your favorite tortilla chips.
