Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz refried beans
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 16 oz sour cream
- 1 cup salsa, mild(medium)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Bean Base: In a bowl, stir refried beans with 1 tbsp of taco seasoning until well combined and fragrant. Spread evenly into a 9×13 inch serving dish, ensuring a smooth, even bottom layer.
- Create Creamy Layer: In another bowl, mix sour cream with the remaining 1 tbsp of taco seasoning until smooth and pale. Carefully spread this creamy mixture over the refried bean layer, making sure it reaches the edges.
- Add Salsa & Cheese: Gently spoon the salsa over the sour cream layer, distributing it evenly without mixing. Then, sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese until covered.
- Top It Off: Arrange shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and jalapeños (if using) over the cheese layer, creating a colorful and fresh topping.
- Chill & Serve: Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and layers to firm up slightly. Serve this delicious Layered Taco Dip Recipe with Refried Beans cold with your favorite tortilla chips or veggie dippers.
Notes
Substitute plain Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream for a healthier option. Drain excess liquid from salsa and diced tomatoes to prevent a watery dip. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor and texture. Can use pre-shredded cheese and pre-chopped veggies for convenience.
