Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) refried beans (preferably Rosarita)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (white and green parts)
  • Optional: diced black beans or corn for extra texture

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with cumin and salt. Spread evenly at the bottom of your serving dish.
  2. Combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir gently and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Mash avocados in a bowl with lime juice, diced red onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, leaving it slightly chunky.
  4. Spoon the guacamole over the refried beans layer, spreading evenly but gently.
  5. Add the jalapeño pico de gallo on top, spreading carefully to keep the layers distinct.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the pico de gallo layer.
  7. Dollop or spread sour cream gently over the cheese layer.
  8. Scatter sliced black olives and chopped green onions over the sour cream layer.
  9. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for easier layering. Seed jalapeños to control heat. Mash avocados with a fork for texture. Layer gently to keep layers distinct. Chill before serving for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut-based alternative. For vegan, use plant-based yogurt and vegan cheese or omit cheese.
