Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 green pepper, sliced .
8 oz sour cream .
1 (1 1/4 oz) packet taco seasoning .
1 (16 oz) can refried beans .
8 oz cream cheese, softened .
16 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (or mexican mix shredded cheese) .
1 (4 1/2 oz) can sliced green chilies (in the mexian food isle with refried beans) .
1 (12 oz) jar chunky salsa, drain most of liquid (your favorite brand-any kind will do) .
1 bunch scallions, sliced (to taste -I LOVE scallions so I use entire amount, but if you prefer less -only chop what you need) .
1 (8 oz) can black olives, sliced (to taste) .
1 (9 oz) bag tortilla chips (I prefer Tostitos Gold)

Directions

Step #1 Mix refried beans & taco seasoning with an electric mixer & spread into the bottom of a 9x12 inch pan.
Step #2 Mix sour cream & softened cream cheese with an electric mixer & spread over bean layer.
Step #3 Spoon sliced chilies, distributing evenly over the cream cheese/sour cream layer.
Step #4 Sprinkle top sliced green peppers, scallions & black olives as your next layer.
Step #5 Next we add the salsa, but I usually drain it a bit in a colander because too much liquid will cause the dip to be soggy.
Step #6 Distribute evenly across the pan.
Step #7 Sprinkle top with shredded cheese & put in the fridge until ready to serve.
Step #8 Serve with tortilla chips.
Step #9 The dip is rather heavy so stronger chips are best.
Step #10 Tostitos Gold or scoops work best.
