Ingredients

  • 16 ounce can refried beans
  • 12 ounce guacamole
  • 16 ounce sour cream
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 15.5 ounce chunky salsa
  • 2 cups cheddar or Mexican blend cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes diced
  • 2 ounce can black olives sliced or diced

Instructions

  • In a 9 x 13 baking dish or trifle bowl spread refried beans onto bottom of dish.
  • Next spread the guacamole on top of bean layer.
  • Mix taco seasoning with sour cream and then spread on top of the guacamole layer.
  • Pour and spread chunky salsa over the sour cream mixture.
  • Sprinkle cheese over salsa and then top with tomatoes.
  • Lastly garnish with black olives.

Notes

 
  • Use a thick or chunky salsa: A thicker salsa will ensure the dip is not runny or watery.
  • Make sure to cover the guacamole layer completely with the sour cream layer to prevent browning of the guacamole before serving.
  • Use Roma tomatoes: These tomatoes have lesser water content and are not as juicy, so this will also help to keep the dip from being watery.
  • Make the same day you serve: For the best flavor and presentation I recommend making it the day you serve it.
