Tex Mex

This is a recipe that has been in my family for years. My mom would always make it for any party she was going to that was pot-luck. She would always make it when having people or family over. Now I make this whenever we entertain, which is hardly ever, LOL. It is a great vegetarian dip, although I have added a layer of ground beef with taco seasoning for my in-laws (they loved it!)

Tex Mex Dip (or sometimes known as a 7-layer dip)

Ingredients

2 cans of re fried beans (I use the vegetarian type)
1 16 oz container of sour cream
1 taco seasoning packet
2 ripe avocados, mashed
4 tomatoes, diced
3 cans sliced black olives
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
2 cups shredded cheese (any kind you like, I use a Mexican blend)
chips to dip (I use tortilla chips, but you can use any kind you like)

1. In a 13X9 dish, put the re fried beans as the first layer.
2. Mix the taco seasoning packet with the sour cream and then spread over the beans for your second layer.
3. Avocados will be your third layer, over the sour cream/taco seasoning packet.
4. Tomatoes are next, then the black olives and onions.
5. Top with the shredded cheese.
6. Put in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving with chips.

I like to have thick layers, so I use more of the ingredients. You can use more or less, depending on how you like your layers to be. I have made this from memory most of the time. I like to have the top be complete with only cheese, so I use a ton of cheese. But again, you can use more or less depending on you.

Enjoy!
