Instructions

Prepare Bean Layer: In a bowl, combine the refried beans and taco seasoning. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly seasoned.
Layer Beans: Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly across the bottom of a 13” x 9” casserole dish to form the first layer of the dip.
Add Guacamole Layer: Carefully spread the guacamole over the bean layer, making sure to cover the beans completely and evenly.
Spread Sour Cream: Next, spread a layer of sour cream over the guacamole, smoothing it out to create an even layer.
Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the sour cream for a melty, creamy texture.
Layer Tomatoes: Spread the diced fresh tomatoes over the cheese layer, ensuring an even distribution.
Add Olives and Onions: Finally, top the dip with sliced black olives and finely chopped green onions for a flavorful garnish.
Chill Before Serving: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up before serving.

Notes

This dip is best served chilled and within 24 hours of preparation for optimal freshness.
You can substitute shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese based on preference.
For extra heat, add diced jalapeños between the layers or mix into the sour cream.
To make the dip vegetarian-friendly, ensure the refried beans do not contain lard.
Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
