Taco Layer Dip

Always a hit at parties or on a hot summer day. Sometimes called 7 layer dip, but you can have as many as you like. Just pick and choose the ones your family likes and add them. Sometimes I make a "full" version on 1/2 the pan and the "lesser" version for the pickier eaters on the other side.

In a glass 9x13 pan, layer the following:

Layer 1: 4 cups or 2 cans seasoned refried beans. Spread on the bottom of the pan. (2 cans makes this heartier, 1 can is just fine for less people.)
Layer 2: Mix together 8 oz sour cream, 8 oz cream cheese (softened) and 1 c. salsa. Spread over beans.
Layer 3: 2 cups guacamole or 3 sliced avocados (optional if kids are eating this). Spread over pink spread.
Layer 4: 1/2 lb ground beef, seasoned with taco seasoning and cooled.
Layer 5: 1 large tomato, chopped.
Layer 6: 1 green pepper, chopped.
Layer 7: 1 bunch green onions, chopped.
Layer 8: Shredded lettuce
Layer 9: 6 oz can of black olives, drained
Layer 10: 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled queso fresco

Serve with tortilla chips and a veggie tray if desired.
