Description

A colorful, crowd-pleasing dip layered with refried beans, guacamole, seasoned sour cream, salsa, cheese, olives, and fresh toppings. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day snacking. Every bite gives you creamy, crunchy, spicy, and tangy all in one scoop.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans (vegetarian, if preferred)
  • 3 ripe avocados, mashed into guacamole with lime juice, salt, and garlic powder
  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa (chunky, drained if watery)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • 3 green onions, sliced


Instructions

  1. Spread refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 dish.
  2. Top with guacamole, making sure to spread all the way to the edges.
  3. Mix sour cream with taco seasoning and spread over the guacamole.
  4. Spoon salsa on top, draining excess liquid if needed.
  5. Sprinkle cheese evenly over salsa.
  6. Scatter olives across the cheese layer.
  7. Finish with diced tomatoes and green onions.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving with sturdy tortilla chips.

Notes

  • To prevent guacamole browning, make sure it’s fully covered by the sour cream layer.
  • For spice lovers, add a layer of diced jalapeños or hot salsa.
  • To make it lighter, swap Greek yogurt for sour cream and use reduced-fat cheese.
