Instructions

Spread refried beans as the first layer in a large serving dish. An 8-inch square glass dish is perfect here.
Mash the avocados and mix with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Layer this over the beans.
Combine the sour cream with taco seasoning. Spread this over the guacamole layer.
Carefully spread the salsa over the sour cream layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the salsa.
Scatter the sliced olives and then the green onions over the cheese.
Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

While this dip can be served immediately, chilling it for an hour allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Ingredient Variations: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients based on your preferences. For instance, you could add a layer of cooked, seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken for a meatier dip.
Cheese Options: While cheddar cheese is great, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like Monterey Jack, pepper jack for a spicy kick, or a pre-shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Dairy-Free Version: For a dairy-free alternative, use dairy-free cheese and sour cream substitutes.
