Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) refried beans
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
  • ½ small red onion, minced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • ½ cup (70 g) sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chunky salsa

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bean Layer: Mix refried beans with chipotle chili powder and cumin. Spread evenly in the bottom of the serving dish. (About 5 minutes) Tip: Warm beans slightly for easier spreading.
  2. Mix the Sour Cream Layer: Combine sour cream and taco seasoning. Stir well and spread over the bean layer, smoothing with a spatula. (5 minutes)
  3. Make the Fresh Guacamole: Mash avocados with lime juice until creamy but slightly chunky. Stir in cilantro, onion, jalapeño (if using), and salt. Adjust seasoning. Spread gently over sour cream layer. (10 minutes) Note: Avoid overmixing to keep texture.
  4. Add Salsa and Cheese Layers: Spread chunky salsa evenly over guacamole, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. (5 minutes) Ensure salsa isn’t too watery.
  5. Finish with Fresh Veggies and Olives: Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and black olives on top. (5 minutes)
  6. Chill Before Serving: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Optional but recommended.

Notes

Warm beans slightly for easier spreading. Prepare guacamole last to keep it fresh and green. Drain watery salsa to avoid soggy layers. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting and flavor. Chill dip before serving for best flavor melding but can serve immediately if needed.
