Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans (preferably Rosarita)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade blend)
  • 1 cup guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 large tomato, diced (seeds removed)
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (green parts only)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Tortilla chips (preferably Tostitos Scoops)
  • Optional: diced jalapeños, pickled red onions

Instructions

  1. Season the beans: In a small bowl, combine refried beans with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and water. Stir until smooth.
  2. Make the sour cream layer: In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning until smooth.
  3. Prep the toppings: Dice tomato (remove seeds), slice olives, chop green onions, and grate cheeses.
  4. Layer the base: Spread seasoned refried beans evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
  5. Add the creamy layers: Gently spread sour cream mixture over beans, then spoon and spread guacamole over sour cream.
  6. Top with cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack evenly over the top.
  7. Add fresh toppings: Scatter diced tomatoes, sliced olives, green onions, and cilantro over the cheese.
  8. Rest before serving: Let dip sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve with chips: Arrange tortilla chips around the edge or in a separate bowl.

Notes

Let the dip rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Drain all wet ingredients to prevent sogginess. Use freshly grated cheese for best texture. For a vegetarian version, replace refried beans with seasoned black beans. For a vegan version, use dairy-free sour cream, vegan cheese, and vegan mayonnaise.
