Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 can refried beans This serves as the base layer.
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds a creamy texture to the dip.
  • 1 cup guacamole For a creamy and flavorful layer.
  • 1 cup salsa Adds zesty freshness.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese A crowd favorite topping.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes For freshness.
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce Adds color and crunch.
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives Garnish for added flavor.
Serving Suggestion
  • 1 bag tortilla chips For serving with the dip.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread the refried beans evenly in a shallow serving dish or a square baking dish to form the base layer.
  2. Dollop the sour cream over the beans and smooth it out with a spatula.
  3. Spoon the guacamole over the sour cream layer and spread it evenly.
  4. Pour the salsa over the guacamole, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the salsa.
  6. Top it off with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced black olives.
  7. Place a bowl of tortilla chips alongside the dip before serving.

Notes

Substitutions can include adding diced jalapeños for spice or black beans for protein. To maintain freshness, prepare just before serving and store layers separately if making ahead. Avoid too much liquid salsa to prevent a soupy dip. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
