1. Prepare the Bean Layer
In a medium bowl, combine the refried beans with the taco seasoning mix.
Mix well until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Spread the bean mixture evenly in the bottom of a serving dish or glass bowl.
2. Make the Creamy Layer
In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Spread this mixture over the bean layer, creating a rich and delicious second layer.
3. Add the Salsa Layer
Pour the salsa over the creamy layer and spread gently with a spoon.
The salsa adds a fresh tomato flavor and a little extra kick to the dip.
4. Add Fresh Toppings
Layer the chopped tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, and shredded lettuce over the salsa.
Try to spread each ingredient evenly so every serving gets all the flavors.
5. Finish with Cheese and Olives
Cover the top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle sliced black olives over the cheese for the final touch.
Chill Before Serving
For the best flavor, cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving.
This allows the layers to blend together and makes every bite even more delicious.
