Print Recipe

A quick and festive no-cook layered dip featuring refried beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo celebrations or any party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (about 240 ml) canned refried beans, smooth texture preferred
  • 1 cup (about 240 ml) homemade or store-bought guacamole (ripe avocados mashed with lime juice and salt)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh or jarred salsa roja, chunky texture, mild or medium heat
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream (can substitute Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1 cup (about 100 grams) shredded Mexican blend or sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro leaves, squeeze of fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. If making homemade guacamole, mash 2 ripe avocados with the juice of half a lime and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside. Chop any optional toppings like green onions or tomatoes.
  2. Using a spoon or spatula, evenly spread 1 cup (240 ml) of refried beans over the bottom of your serving dish.
  3. Gently spread 1 cup (240 ml) of guacamole over the beans, taking care not to mix the layers.
  4. Spoon 1 cup (240 ml) of salsa over the guacamole, distributing evenly. Drain if watery to prevent sogginess.
  5. Smooth 1 cup (240 ml) of sour cream on top of the salsa. Optionally stir in a little taco seasoning before spreading.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup (about 100 grams) of shredded cheese evenly across the sour cream layer.
  7. Scatter optional garnishes such as chopped green onions, black olives, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro leaves on top. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips or crunchy veggies.

Notes

For best flavor, chill dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. Use lime juice liberally to keep guacamole fresh and prevent browning. Drain salsa if watery to avoid soggy layers. Can be customized with vegan or low-carb substitutions. Serve within 24 hours for freshness. Avoid freezing leftovers.
