Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz can refried beans
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups sour cream divided
  • 3 Tbsp taco seasoning adjust to your taste
  • 1 16 oz jar chunky salsa Use mild/medium/hot your preference
  • 1 16 oz container prepared guacamole or guacamole dip
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar or monterey jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp ripe olives

Instructions

  • Spread refried beans In the bottom of a 2 quart dish.
  • Use an electric mixer to whip together cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups sour cream and taco seasoning. Whip until creamy around 2 minutes. Spread over the refried beans.
  • Spread the salsa over the cream cheese layer, reserving 1/4 cup for the top.
  • Spread guacamole over the salsa. Next layer, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Arrange shredded lettuce around the edge then garnish with 1/4 cup reserved salsa, 1/2 cup reserved sour cream, ripe olives and thinly sliced green onion.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

a) When making this dip, I choose to use thinly sliced or shredded green leaf lettuce for the top. When making ahead, it tends to breakdown much slower than iceberg lettuce.
b) If you choose fresh tomatoes as a garnish, I recommend adding tomatoes just before serving, to prevent the juices from releasing and causing the dip to become watery.
