#84_Fiesta Dip

Fiesta Dip or 7-Layer Dip

I learned how to make this DIP from our daughter, Amy. It is always a favorite dip in the Johnson family get-together dinners. Aside from being so presentable, it is so full of flavor too and it goes really well with tortilla chips.

Here's the stuff you need to make this dip:

1 can of refried beans

1 packet of taco seasoning

3 small avocados

1 packet Guacamole Mix ( they come in MILD or HOT)

1 8 oz. tub of sour cream

1/3 cup picante sauce or tomato salsa

1 medium tomato, diced

1 can olives, sliced

1/2 lb. shredded cheddar cheese

PREP THE INGREDIENTS
1) REFRIED BEANS: In a saucepan, heat up a can of refried beans and the taco seasoning together over medium heat, stirring well. Set aside.

2) GUACAMOLE: Peel and mash the avocados in a bowl and stir in the Guacamole Mix. Stir to blend well. Set aside

3) Wash and dice the tomato. Set aside.

4) Drain the olives and slice them up. Set aside.
