  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 6 ounce can sliced black olives, drained

Equipment

  • Large serving platter

Method
 

  1. Combine the refried beans and taco seasoning in a medium bowl. Spread this mixture onto a large serving platter to form the first layer.

  3. Spread the salsa evenly over the sour cream and cream cheese layer.

Notes

This dip is best served chilled. You can prepare the layers ahead of time, but add the lettuce and cheese just before serving for the best texture.
