Detailed Directions and Instructions
Layer the Refried Beans
Start by spreading a layer of refried beans at the bottom of your serving dish. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the beans and create a smooth, flat layer.
Spread the Guacamole
Next, add a layer of guacamole on top of the refried beans. Make sure to spread it out evenly to cover the entire surface of the beans.
Add the Salsa
After the guacamole, pour the salsa over the guacamole layer. Use a spoon to gently spread it out without mixing it with the guacamole.
Layer the Sour Cream
Now, take the sour cream and dollop it on top of the salsa layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly across the salsa.
Top with Shredded Cheese
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the sour cream. Make sure it covers the entire top of the dip for an even look.
Garnish and Serve
If desired, you can garnish the top with chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or black olives before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or veggie sticks.
Notes
Make Ahead
You can prepare the dip in advance. Assemble it up to a day ahead, cover it tightly, and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, the quality may decline, especially with the guacamole, which may brown.
Adaptations
Feel free to customize the dip by adding layers like seasoned ground beef, jalapeños, or additional toppings according to your taste preference.
