Ingredients:

  • 30 oz refried beans
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 16 oz full fat sour cream
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 oz taco seasoning packet
  • 16 oz guacamole
  • 1 cup thick-style salsa, strained
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Mix 30 oz refried beans with 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp chili powder. Note: This loosens the beans for easier dipping.
  2. Spread the bean mixture into the bottom of your dish until perfectly level and reaching all corners.
  3. Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 16 oz full fat sour cream and 1 oz taco seasoning until velvety and no lumps remain.
  4. Carefully spread the dairy mixture over the beans. Note: Work from the center outward to avoid dragging the beans.
  5. Layer 16 oz guacamole over the dairy until the green layer is opaque and even.
  6. Pour 1 cup salsa into a mesh strainer for 5 minutes, then spoon it over the guacamole until lightly covered but not swimming.
  7. Sprinkle 2 cups Mexican blend cheese evenly across the top until the salsa is mostly hidden.
  8. Distribute 1/2 cup olives, 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup green onions until the top looks like a vibrant garden.
