Mexican Layered Dip

What’s happy hour without something to snack on?

This dip is an absolute favorite of Son Two. I like to make it whenever he and his girlfriend come over. It’s a breeze to throw together.

Ingredients:

1 can refried beans
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 envelope taco seasoning
shredded cheese
shredded lettuce
1 tomato chopped fine
1 small can black olive slices

To prepare, mix the refried beans, chili powder and cumin and spread on a platter. In a medium size bowl mix the mayo, the sour cream and the taco seasoning and spread it over the refried beans. Top it off with the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and olives.

Those of you who are familiar with this recipe know there’s supposed to be a layer of guacamole - just like the one you can see in this photo. Unfortunately, our kids don’t care for it so I reluctantly leave it out.

This can be served with Tostitos or Fritos.
