Ingredients
Scale
Main Layers
- 48 oz refried beans (three 16 oz cans)
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 3 cups guacamole
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Toppings
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 4 green onions, chopped
For Serving
- Warmed tortilla chips
Instructions
- Mix Refried Beans and Seasoning: In a medium bowl, stir together the refried beans and taco seasoning until well combined.
- Layer Refried Beans: Spread the seasoned refried beans into a single even layer along the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Add Guacamole Layer: Spread the guacamole evenly over the refried beans layer.
- Create Sour Cream Spider Web: Using a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or a Ziploc bag with a snipped corner, pipe two perpendicular lines of sour cream to form a + shape. Divide each section twice more to create 16 sections total. Then, pipe two small half circles across each section to create outer and inner rings of the spider web pattern.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the diced tomato, shredded cheese, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions around the perimeter of the dip.
- Decorate: Place a plastic spider in the center of the web for a festive Halloween touch.
- Serve: Serve immediately with warmed tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- To keep the dip fresh before serving, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- You can substitute vegan sour cream to make this dip dairy-free.
- Warm the tortilla chips in the oven for a few minutes for extra crispiness.
- If desired, add a layer of shredded lettuce or chopped cilantro for extra freshness.
- Use a clean squeeze bottle or piping bag for smooth sour cream lines; a toothpick can help refine the web design.
