Instructions
1. Prepare the Base Layer:
In a medium bowl, combine the refried beans and taco seasoning until well mixed. Spread the seasoned beans evenly on the bottom of a large serving dish or 9×13-inch pan. This forms the flavorful base of your dip.
2. Add the Sour Cream Layer:
Spread the sour cream evenly over the bean layer, using a spatula to smooth it out. The creamy layer balances the spiciness and adds a cool contrast.
3. Add Salsa:
Gently spread the salsa over the sour cream. Choose a chunky or thick salsa to prevent the dip from becoming watery. For extra heat, use a spicy salsa; for a milder version, go with medium or mild.
4. Add Cheese and Veggies:
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salsa layer. Then top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, and green onions. Each layer adds freshness and crunch, creating the perfect bite every time.
