Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 cup prepared guacamole
  • 1 cup salsa, drained well
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning mix. Mix until smooth. This is your first layer.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch serving dish.
  3. Spread the refried beans evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Gently spread the prepared guacamole over the bean layer.
  5. Spoon the drained salsa evenly over the guacamole layer.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salsa layer.
  7. Top with diced tomatoes and sliced black olives.
  8. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the layers to set.
  9. Serve cold with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, drain excess liquid from the salsa before adding it as a layer.
  • You can prepare this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a meat layer, cook 1 pound of ground beef with taco seasoning and spread it over the refried beans before adding the guacamole.
