Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) refried beans
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 cup (240 g) chunky salsa
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed with 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) diced tomatoes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) sliced black olives (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, combine sour cream with lime juice and chili powder; stir until smooth.
  3. Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly on the bottom of an 8×8-inch serving dish, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Gently spread the sour cream mixture over the bean layer without mixing the layers.
  5. Spoon chunky salsa evenly over the sour cream layer and gently spread it out.
  6. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously over the salsa layer.
  7. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lime juice until smooth but slightly chunky; season with salt if needed.
  8. Spread the guacamole evenly over the cheese layer.
  9. Sprinkle diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, and cilantro leaves on top.
  10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld, or serve immediately.

Notes

Add guacamole topping just before serving to prevent browning. Use a soft touch when spreading layers to keep them distinct. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and use vegan cheese or omit cheese. Serve with gluten-free tortilla chips for a gluten-free option.
