Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (halal-compliant)
Topping Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce Ensure even distribution for the best texture.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) Cheese layer is vital for the dip.
For Serving
  • Tortilla chips for serving Choose a fresh batch to complement the dip.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the refried beans and taco seasoning until well mixed. Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a serving dish.
  2. On top of the bean layer, spread the sour cream evenly.
  3. Add a layer of shredded lettuce evenly over the sour cream.
  4. Sprinkle diced tomatoes generously on top of the lettuce.
  5. Cover with shredded cheese so it completely covers the vegetables.
  6. Scatter sliced black olives on top for added flavor.
  7. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

Assemble the dip just before serving to keep veggies fresh. Can prepare layers ahead, but combine before serving. Avoid stale tortilla chips for best results. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy cold; reheating is not recommended.
