Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refried beans
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) chunky salsa
  • 1 cup (4 oz / 100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (4 oz / 100 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz / 60 g) sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz / 60 g) diced tomatoes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (1 oz / 30 g) chopped green onions or scallions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bean Layer: In a medium bowl, stir the taco seasoning into the refried beans until fully combined. Spread this evenly into the bottom of your pie dish. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon or spatula. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. Make the Fresh Guacamole: In another bowl, mash the peeled avocados until mostly smooth but leave some small chunks for texture. Add lime juice, red onion, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine. Spread this layer evenly over the bean base. (Time: 10 minutes)
  3. Add the Salsa: Spoon the chunky salsa evenly on top of the guacamole layer. Spread carefully to maintain distinct layers. (Time: 3 minutes)
  4. Layer the Cheeses: Mix the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the salsa layer. (Time: 2 minutes)
  5. Top with Fresh Veggies and Olives: Scatter the sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions over the cheese layer. (Time: 3 minutes)
  6. Chill Before Serving: Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. (Time: 30 minutes)

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for best guacamole texture. Fresh lime juice prevents browning. Chill dip before serving for best flavor melding. Substitute dairy-free cheese and sour cream for dairy-free version. Black beans can replace refried beans for chunkier texture. Adjust spice by adding jalapeños or hot sauce.
