Ingredients

16 oz. refried beans
16 oz sour cream
16 oz salsa
4 oz. sliced black olives
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheese
1 packet taco seasoning
tortilla chips

Instructions

Spread heated and smooth refried beans onto a large serving platter or in a transparent glass pie plate. The size of the platter will be the size of your dip, so if you choose to use a large platter, just make sure you use more than one can so the dip is deep enough in thickness.
Mix 16 oz tub of sour cream and taco seasoning together in a small bowl.
Using a spatula, carefully spread sour cream on top of the refried beans.
Add medium or mild salsa on top of the sour cream mixture, carefully keeping the salsa inside the sour cream ring for presentation.
Finally, top taco dip with lettuce, cheese, black olives, fresh tomatoes, and/or diced avocado.
Cover and Refrigerate dip until ready to serve.
Serve with crunchy tortilla chips.

Notes

Expert Appetizer Tips.

Try a dash of cayenne pepper and a bit of garlic powder in addition to taco seasoning mix.
If adding cooked ground beef, layer on top of beans before adding the other layers and favorite taco ingredients. This keeps the weight of the meat on the bottom.
Make a cream cheese mixture: Mix half a block of softened cream cheese with the sour cream to create a thicker and heavier dip.
Like many taco dip recipes, this dip is not keto-friendly.
A clear pie plate is a great way to serve the dip. It holds all the ingredients in it and allows you to see all the layers.

How long does Taco Dip Last?

Typically I do not have leftovers of taco dip! But if you find yourself in this unusual position, taco dip should last about three days in the fridge. Just cover the top with plastic wrap.

Adding a Guacamole Layer.

If you happen to have included guacamole in a top layer, it will oxidize and turn brown. This will not affect the flavor; it just looks unappetizing. The best option is to make sure any avocado or guacamole is deeper in the layers and smothered in the salsa and sour cream.
