Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 oz / 450 g) can refried beans
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (110 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small tomato, finely diced (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (120 g) shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup (35 g) diced red onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir the taco seasoning into the refried beans until well combined. Spread evenly on the bottom of your serving dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, shredded cheddar, and lime juice. Spread carefully over the bean layer.
  3. Mash the avocados with lime juice, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Fold in diced tomato if desired. Spread evenly over the creamy layer.
  4. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, diced red onion, shredded cheese, and green onions on top of the guacamole.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and layers firm up before serving.

Notes

Pat dry tomatoes and lettuce to avoid sogginess. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to firm layers. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and use vegan cheese. Add guacamole layer last minute for maximum freshness if preparing ahead.
