Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) refried beans

1 cup sour cream

1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix

1 cup guacamole (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup chopped tomatoes (diced)

1/2 cup green onions (sliced)

1/2 cup black olives (sliced)

Tortilla chips, for serving

Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the refried beans and half of the taco seasoning mix. Stir until well mixed to create a flavorful bean base.

    Create the Layers: Choose a clear, shallow dish (like a 9x9 inch glass baking dish). Start by spreading the seasoned refried beans evenly across the bottom.

      Layer the Sour Cream: In another bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining taco seasoning. Spread this mixture over the refried beans, ensuring it covers completely.

        Add the Guacamole: Next, gently spread the guacamole in an even layer on top of the sour cream.

          Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the guacamole to create a cheesy layer.

            Top with Veggies: Scatter the diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and black olives on top of the cheese layer, creating a colorful and fresh topping.

              Garnish (optional): If desired, sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro on top for added flavor and decoration.

                Chill and Serve: Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

                  Dig In: Serve the layered taco bean dip with tortilla chips for dipping, and watch it disappear quickly at your gathering!
