Tex-Mex Dip In A Platter Recipe

How to make it

---

• Any size platter, tray or plate. Be careful adding layers so you do not distrub the previous layers.
• Spread a layer, about 1/4 inch thick, of refried beans oven entire surface of platter..
• Spread on of layer of sour cream, covering the beans,except for about 1/4th of an inch around outside.
• Now, a layer of salsa, leaving a 1/4 ilnch on the outter edge with no salsa.
• Add a layer of shredded cheese over salsa.
• Next layer is finely shredded iceburg lettuce.
• Add the sliced jalapeno pepper layer, if you are brave enough to be using them.
• Now, the layer of small diced onion.
• Add the layer of diced avocado which have been rinsed in lime juice.
• Add another layer of shredded cheese.
• A layer of diced tomatoes is next.
• Finish with a layer of sliced black olives.
• To finish off the platter, I add small dollops of sour cream scattered around on top of everything and sprinkle with a layer of sliced green onions.
• Be sure to dice then rinse the avocado in lime juice, or lemon juice to prevent the avocado from turning black.
• Serve the Platter Dip with chips, crackers, veggies near by for dipping directly off the platter. And no double dipping.
• If you use fat-free refried beans and fat-[free sour cream your dip would count as a low-fat, quite healthy dip..
• If you would like, a layer of cooked, seasoned ground meat can be added after the refried bean layer.
• If you want to change any layer or add another layer or remove a layer, this recipe is so versitile you can change it anyway to personalize to your own tastes.
