Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sour cream and taco mix together.
- Layer all the ingredients (except Tostitos chips) in a dish with about 1-inch sides, starting with the bean dip, then avocado dip, sour cream mixture, cheese, tomato, and black olives if using.
- Serve with Tostitos chips for dipping.
Tips & Substitutions
To add more flavor, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or adding a layer of guacamole. If you can't find frozen avocado dip, fresh mashed avocado with lime juice makes a great substitute. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. This dip can also be customized with additional ingredients like corn or diced bell peppers for more texture.
Serving Suggestions
This dip is perfect for parties or game day and pairs beautifully with Tostitos chips. For a complete spread, consider serving it alongside Mexican recipes like mini tacos or quesadillas. You can also add a fresh salad with Tex-Mex Jalapeno Dressing to balance the richness of the dip, making for a delightful snack or appetizer.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to reheat it, do so gently in the microwave to avoid separating the layers. Just warm it until the cheese is slightly melted and serve again with fresh Tostitos chips for dipping.
