Ingredients

Scale

Guacamole Layer

  • 2 avocados – peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Sour Cream Layer

  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

Other Layers

  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 4 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can black olives – drained and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Guacamole Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, chopped cilantro, salsa, fresh lime juice, garlic salt, and ground black pepper. Mix gently until well combined but still chunky. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Sour Cream Layer: In a separate bowl, stir together the sour cream and taco seasoning mix until evenly blended. This will add a flavorful and creamy layer to your dip.
  3. Layer the Refried Beans: Spread the refried beans evenly in the bottom of a shallow serving dish or glass pie plate to form the base of the dip.
  4. Add the Sour Cream Layer: Carefully spread the seasoned sour cream mixture over the refried beans, creating the second layer.
  5. Add the Guacamole Layer: Gently spread the prepared guacamole over the sour cream to create the third layer. Be careful not to mix the layers.
  6. Top with Vegetables and Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the diced tomatoes, finely chopped green onions, and shredded Mexican cheese blend over the guacamole layer.
  7. Add Olives: Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped black olives on top as the seventh and last layer.
  8. Chill and Serve: Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or your favorite dipping snacks.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, add diced jalapeños to the guacamole layer.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor in the guacamole.
  • You can make this dip a day ahead; just keep it covered and refrigerated.
  • Serve with a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, pita wedges, or fresh vegetable sticks.
  • To keep the guacamole layer from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
