Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) refried beans, smooth style preferred
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream (Greek yogurt can be used as a swap)
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons / 30 ml)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: a handful of chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup (150 g) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) sliced black olives (optional)
  • Jalapeños, sliced to taste (fresh or pickled)
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the guacamole: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the peeled avocados with a fork or potato masher until smooth but still creamy. Add lime juice, minced garlic, salt to taste, and optional cilantro. Mix gently to combine.
  2. Season the refried beans: In a small bowl, mix the canned refried beans with the Mexican seasoning. Add a tablespoon of water if beans are too thick.
  3. Mix the sour cream layer: Stir the sour cream until smooth, then spread evenly over the refried beans layer in your serving dish.
  4. Layer the cheese and veggies: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream. Follow with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, black olives, and jalapeño slices.
  5. Top with guacamole and chill: Spread the creamy guacamole evenly over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for best guacamole texture. Drain diced tomatoes well to avoid sogginess. Chill dip before serving to meld flavors and firm layers. For vegan version, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and cheddar with vegan cheese, and ensure refried beans contain no lard. Avoid freezing the dip as texture will degrade.
