Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 packet taco seasoning homemade or store-bought (see note 1)
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 2 avocados (see note 2)
- 2 teaspoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
- salt
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 (3.8 ounce) can sliced olives drained (see note 3)
- 2 scallions finely sliced
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the beans and taco seasoning mix. Spread in the bottom of a medium glass bowl or baking dish, then top with the sour cream.
- Halve avocados, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocados with the lime juice and salt to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon), then spread on top of the sour cream layer.
- On top of the guacamole layer, add the shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives, and scallions in that order. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover and chill until serving time.
Notes
- Taco seasoning: A store-bought packet works great. To DIY a packet's worth of homemade taco seasoning, whisk together 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 3/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and salt to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon). Add 1 teaspoon cornstarch if you prefer a thickener in your taco seasoning.
- Avocados: I stripped down guacamole down to its essence for this recipe, but feel free to make full-blown guacamole if you prefer.
- Olives: I love the flavor of canned black olives in this dip, but it's the easiest thing in the world to omit if you don't like them.
- Yield: One batch of this recipe should feed 12 people as a snack or appetizer. But, the recipe is easy to scale up or down to fit the group.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
