BEST EVER LAYERED MEXICAN DIP

Steps:

• In a clear pie pan, or similar dish, spread a layer of bean dip. Top the bean dip with a layer of guacamole. Allow the layers to thicken in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, while the bean dip and guacamole chill, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning. When the chilled mixture is sufficiently thickened, spread a layer of the sour cream mixture over the layer of guacamole. Top the sour cream layer with the grated cheese. Garnish the layers with the jalapenos and tomatoes.

LAYERED MEXICAN DIP

Steps:

• Mix sour cream, mayo and seasoning together; set aside.
• Mix vegetables together; set aside.
• Warm beans (fat-free can be used), spread in an approximately 11x7-inch serving/baking dish. (The original recipe said to warm them. It seems to make them easier to spread, but if I'm going to refrigerate the dip before serving it, I don't bother heating the beans.).
• Layer half the cheese on top. Follow with a layer of salsa, a layer of sour cream mixture and a layer of vegetable. Top with remaining cheese.
• Serve with corn chips (scoops size) or tortilla chips.
