1 can refried beans
1 – 1 1/2 cups guacamole (I use the pre-made Trader Joes variety – mostly because it’s easy and much cheaper than buying avocadoes in New England @ $2 each!)
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup salsa
1 cup grated cheese
1 small tomato, chopped
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 small can chopped black olives

Layer 1: Spread entire can of refried beans onto serving platter. (I use about a 14-inch circle glass platter usually)

Layer 2: Spread all of guacamole on top of beans. I like to make a smaller circle of the guac than the beans, so you can see each layer. Fancy stuff, I know!

Layer 3: Stir together sour cream, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, and spread on top of guacamole.

Layer 4: Spread salsa gently on top of sour cream.

Layer 5: Sprinkle grated cheese on top of salsa.

Layers 6, 7, and 8: tomatoes, then green onions, then chopped olives.

Serve with tortilla chips
