Ingredients

For the Base

1 can Refried Beans A creamy foundation; swap for black beans for a tasty twist.
1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning Adds depth to the beans; try homemade for a fresher flavor.

For the Creamy Layers

1 cup Guacamole Brings freshness and creaminess; opt for homemade for better quality.
1 cup Sour Cream Balances flavors beautifully; substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.

For Freshness & Flavor

1 cup Chunky Salsa or Pico de Gallo Provides acidity and freshness; make your own to control spice levels.
1 cup Shredded Cheddar or Mexican Blend Cheese Introduces richness; can be swapped with dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.

For the Crunch

1 cup Roma Tomatoes (diced) Adds vibrant color and texture; cherry tomatoes work well as a substitute.
1 cup Green Onions (sliced) Gives a mild onion flavor and crunch; chives are a great alternative.
1/2 cup Sliced Olives Contributes brininess; can be omitted for a lighter taste.
8 pieces Tortilla Chips The perfect scoop; consider baked chips for a healthier choice.
