A vibrant and flavorful layered dip perfect for parties and gatherings.
Spread the refried beans evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
Ensure the beans are evenly spread to create a solid base for the layers.
Spread the guacamole over the beans, covering them completely.
Use a spatula to gently spread the guacamole without mixing it into the beans.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the taco seasoning is evenly distributed.
Spread the cream mixture over the guacamole layer.
Spread gently to avoid disturbing the guacamole layer.
Sprinkle the shredded lettuce evenly over the cream layer.
Use fresh, crisp lettuce for the best texture.
Scatter the chopped green onions over the lettuce.
Green onions add a mild onion flavor and a pop of color.
Distribute the diced tomatoes evenly over the green onions.
Choose ripe tomatoes for a sweet and tangy flavor.
Sprinkle the sliced black olives over the tomatoes.
Black olives add a salty, briny flavor to the dip.
Finish by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the dip with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.
Arrange the chips around the dip for an inviting presentation.
