made: 5 layer dip

While I absolutely adore any variation of 7-layer dip/salad, I've never made up a batch without having a reason (i.e. : bringing it as a dish-to-pass for a party).  But this past weekend I had a craving like no other so I opted to throw all caution to the wind and whip up a batch.  It was (and still is) delicious.

Here is how I made it:

5-Layer Dip

// Ingredients //

1 can of black re-friend beans

8 oz container of sour cream

8 oz guacamole (though I prefer making my own)

1 package taco seasoning

1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 bag taco flavored shredded cheese

// Directions //

STEP 1:  Mix taco seasoning and sour cream together.  Set aside.

STEP 2:  Spread a layer of re-fried beans across the bottom of a 13x9 glass baking dish.  Top with a layer of guacamole, followed by a layer of the sour cream/ taco seasoning combo, followed by a layer of diced tomatoes.  Garnish with shredded cheese.

STEP 3:  Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips!
