Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easier mixing and layering.

- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the guacamole layer, covering it completely.
- Drizzle the salsa evenly across the cheese layer, allowing it to create a colorful and flavorful top.
- Garnish the top with finely chopped green onions, adding a fresh and zesty finish to the dip.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow layers to set and flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let all ingredients sit at room temperature before assembling to ensure smooth, even layers.
- Clear Dish is Key: Use a transparent glass dish to showcase the beautiful, colorful layers of your dip.
- Layer Carefully: Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread each layer gently, preventing mixing between layers.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and layers to set firmly.
- Customize Your Dip: Experiment with different types of cheese, add jalapeños for heat, or include black beans for extra texture.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or even toasted pita bread for variety.
