# How-To:

01 - Combine refried beans with taco seasoning in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Spread evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass dish or large serving platter.
02 - Whisk sour cream and softened cream cheese together until completely smooth. Gently spread this mixture over the bean layer, ensuring even coverage.
03 - Mash avocados with lime juice and salt in a small bowl until mostly smooth with slight chunks remaining. Distribute evenly over the creamy layer.
04 - Carefully spoon salsa over the guacamole, spreading gently to reach the edges without disturbing the layers beneath.
05 - Evenly distribute shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa layer, covering completely.
06 - Layer shredded lettuce followed by diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions, distributing each topping uniformly.
07 - Cover the dish and refrigerate for minimum 1 hour to allow flavors to meld together thoroughly.
08 - Present chilled accompanied by tortilla chips for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its the ultimate low stress crowd pleaser that disappears faster than you can refill the chip bowl
  • You can assemble it ahead and let it hang out in the fridge until kickoff
  • Every bite packs something different from creamy to crunchy to tangy
02 -
  • The longer it chills the better the layers set up, but serve within 24 hours before things get watery
  • Spread each layer all the way to the edges so every scoop gets all seven layers
  • Room temperature ingredients spread easier without tearing the layers below
03 -
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to prevent browning
  • Set out a small spoon for people who want neat portions instead of double dipping
