Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans (smooth style like Rosarita preferred)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Guacamole:
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 small clove minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 1 small fresh jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the guacamole: Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop into a bowl. Add lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mash gently with a fork, leaving it a bit chunky. Set aside. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Mix seasoned beans: In another bowl, combine refried beans with ground cumin and chili powder. Stir until spices are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
  3. Layer the base: Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly on the bottom of your dish. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon or spatula. (2 minutes)
  4. Add sour cream layer: Spread sour cream gently over the bean layer without mixing. (2 minutes)
  5. Spread the guacamole: Spoon the fresh guacamole evenly over the sour cream and smooth the surface gently. (3 minutes)
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the guacamole layer. (2 minutes)
  7. Add diced tomatoes and green onions: Scatter evenly on top, ensuring tomatoes are well drained. (3 minutes)
  8. Top with black olives and optional diced jalapeños. (2 minutes)
  9. Chill before serving: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
