Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup prepared guacamole
- 1 cup salsa (medium heat recommended)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped black olives (optional layer)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the entire packet of taco seasoning mix until fully combined. This creates your seasoned cream cheese layer.
- Spread the refried beans evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 inch serving dish or pie plate.
- Carefully spread the seasoned cream cheese mixture over the bean layer.
- Gently spoon the prepared guacamole over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
- Pour the salsa over the guacamole layer. Do not stir the layers.
- Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the salsa.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped black olives over the cheese layer.
- Cover the dish and chill the layer dip in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. Chilling allows the layers to set.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro just before serving with tortilla chips.
Notes
- You can make this layer dip up to 24 hours ahead of time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- For an optional eighth layer, brown 1 pound of ground beef with half a packet of taco seasoning and drain the fat before spreading it over the refried beans.
- Use your favorite store-bought or homemade guacamole for the best flavor.
