👩🍳 Directions (7 Steps)
1. Prep the Bean Base
In a bowl, mix the refried beans with the taco seasoning until fully blended. This creates a flavorful, sturdy first layer that holds the dip together.
2. Spread the Bean Layer
Spoon the seasoned beans into the bottom of a shallow serving dish or casserole dish. Use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.
3. Add the Sour Cream Layer
Gently spread the sour cream over the beans. Make sure to cover the entire surface so each scoop has that cool, creamy bite.
4. Layer on the Salsa
Pour the salsa over the sour cream and spread it out. Choose a thick salsa so the dip doesn’t get watery.
5. Add a Blanket of Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. The cheese ties all the flavors together and makes the dip extra satisfying.
6. Add the Fresh Tomatoes
Scatter the diced tomatoes on top. They add a fresh, juicy pop that brightens up all the creamy layers beneath.
7. Garnish & Chill
Finish with optional olives, green onions, jalapeños—whatever you love. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes so the layers set and the flavors meld.
