Scale
- 1 cup refried beans (canned or homemade)

- ½ cup diced tomatoes (drained)
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup of refried beans with a spoon or small whisk until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch glass pie dish.
- In another bowl, mix 1 cup sour cream with a pinch of taco seasoning or cumin if desired. Spread gently over the beans layer using a spatula.
- Dollop 1 cup of guacamole evenly on top of the sour cream. Smooth the layer gently without pressing too hard.
- Spoon 1 cup of chunky salsa over the guacamole, ensuring excess liquid is drained. Spread gently and evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 to 1½ cups of freshly shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend over the salsa.
- Scatter ½ cup diced tomatoes, ¼ cup sliced black olives, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions evenly over the cheese.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Notes
Drain salsa well to avoid sogginess. Whip refried beans for a smooth base. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors. Use freshly shredded cheese for best texture. Can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternatives. For vegan version, use vegan sour cream, cheese, and mashed black beans seasoned with taco spices.
