Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz refried beans
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions
- as needed tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the refried beans and taco seasoning. Stir until well blended and heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
While the beans cool, in a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
In a 9x13-inch serving dish, spread the seasoned refried beans in an even layer at the bottom.
Spread the sour cream and cream cheese mixture evenly over the beans to create your second layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer to form the third layer.
Top with shredded lettuce, followed by diced tomatoes, black olives, and sliced green onions, spreading each evenly across the surface.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips for dipping.
