Recipe(tried): Tex-Mex Dip (spread in layers on a platter)

Hi Debra,

This is a platter that you stack or spread the ingredients one on top of each other. Each layer is layered on top of each other. It is very easy to make and quite delicious.

I use a round glass serving platter becuase it looks good and it is easy to serve from. I have a bowl of tortilla chips nearby and people just dig in. There is nothing left when you serve this so clean up is easy!

TEX-MEX DIP

3 medium-size ripe avocados
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
2 cans (10 1/2 oz. each) refried beans or bean dip
1 cup chopped scallions
3 tomatoes, chopped
Pitted black olives, sliced and drained
1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded cheddar cheese
Tortilla chips

Mash the avocados with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Combine sour cream, mayonnaise and taco seasoning; mix well. Set aside.

Spread the bean dip or refried beans first onto bottom of round glass platter. Top with the avocado and spread all over evenly. Layer next with the sour cream mix and spread evenly over. Sprinkle scallions next all over. Sprinkle tomatoes next, then olives. Top with shredded cheese. Refrigerate till ready to eat.

Serve with tortilla chips.
