2cupsshredded cheese(cheddar, colby jack, or mexican blend)
Optional: chopped green onions & olives
Instructions
In a 9x9 square dish or 9 inch pie pan, spread 1 (15 oz) can refried beans evenly across the bottom and sprinkle on 1 teaspoon taco seasoning.
On top of the beans, 1½ cups guacamole or mashed avocado.
Next, spread on 1½ cups sour cream and sprinkle on 1 teaspoon Ranch seasoning mix
Spread1½ cups chunky salsa over the sour cream. Try to use chunky salsa so it doesn't get runny over the sour cream.
Add 2 cups shredded cheese and optional toppings (green onions, chopped tomatoes, olives, etc). Make a spider web by piping sour cream into a star shape, then connecting each leg of the star with "U" shapes in between.
Slice regular olives on top or make fun little spiders! Slice a few olives lengthwise in half for the bodies, then slice a few of the halves into little legs and place them on the bean dip. SO CUTE.
Serve with tortilla chips, pita pieces, carrots, or cucumber slices.
Notes
Refrigerate for 3-4 days to keep the guacamole fresh. Use taco meat and unflavored greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a higher protein option.
