Ingredients
Scale
Layer Base
- 1 can Refried Beans (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning (or store-bought)
Middle Layers
- 1 cup Guacamole (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup Marzetti Ranch Veggie Dip
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Colby Jack or favorite cheese blend)
Toppings
- 1 cup Grape Tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Sliced Olives (or pickled jalapeños)
- 2 tablespoons Green Onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Beans: In a medium bowl, combine the canned refried beans with the homemade taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly until well blended and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Spread the Bean Layer: Evenly spread the seasoned refried beans across the bottom of a 7×11-inch serving dish or pan, creating a uniform base layer.
- Add Guacamole Layer: Carefully scoop and spread the guacamole atop the bean layer without mixing them together, maintaining distinct layers.
- Spread Ranch Dip: Dollop the Marzetti Ranch Veggie Dip generously over the guacamole layer, then spread it evenly to cover the guacamole completely.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded Colby Jack cheese on top of the ranch veggie dip layer, covering the surface.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Scatter the halved grape tomatoes, sliced olives (or pickled jalapeños), and chopped green onions evenly over the cheese layer to add color and flavor.
- Garnish with Cilantro: Lightly sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the entire dip for a fresh and vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve: Present the layered dip with a bowl of tortilla chips for scooping and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use canned refried beans for convenience or homemade for a fresher taste.
- Homemade taco seasoning adds personalized flavor but store-bought works well and saves time.
- For a spicier dip, substitute sliced olives with pickled jalapeños.
- Layer gently to maintain distinct visual layers that make the dip appealing.
- Best served fresh but can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
