Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the refried beans and taco seasoning mix. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly over the bottom of a large pie dish or serving platter. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, gently mix the mashed avocados with lemon juice, minced red onion, and a dash of garlic salt until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully spread the avocado mixture over the layer of refried beans, creating a smooth, even layer. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Evenly spread sour cream (or Mexican crema) over the avocado layer. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Sprinkle the chopped green chile peppers over the sour cream. (1 minute)

07

Step
2 mins

Layer the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the green chiles. (2 minutes)

Garnish the top with diced fresh tomatoes and sliced black olives, arranging them attractively. (5 minutes)

09

Step
30 mins

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

For a spicier kick, use a hot taco seasoning mix or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the avocado mixture.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, well-drained.
For a creamier texture, substitute cream cheese for the sour cream.
Consider topping with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added freshness and color.
