Instructions:
-
Heat the refried beans: Place the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them until just warm, about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, you can heat them on the stovetop over low heat.
-
Layer the beans: Spread the warm refried beans evenly in a 9-inch glass pie pan or a serving dish of your choice.
-
Prepare the sour cream mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and ranch dressing until well combined. This creamy mixture adds a zesty flavor to the dip.
-
Spread the sour cream mixture: Carefully spread the sour cream mixture over the layer of refried beans, ensuring even coverage to every corner of the dish.
-
Add the shredded cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sour cream layer. The cheese will melt slightly and add a deliciously gooey texture to the dip.
-
Layer the vegetables: Now, it’s time to add the colorful layers of vegetables. Start by evenly distributing the shredded lettuce over the cheese layer. The crispiness of the lettuce adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy layers beneath.
-
Top with tomatoes: Scatter the diced tomatoes over the lettuce layer. The juicy tomatoes bring a burst of freshness to each bite.
-
Sprinkle with black olives: Evenly distribute the sliced black olives over the tomatoes. These savory bites add a depth of flavor to the dip.
-
Garnish with green onions: Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top of the dip. The mild onion flavor enhances the overall taste and adds a pop of color.
-
Serve with tortilla chips: Arrange a bowl of tortilla chips alongside the Ranch Taco Dip, and watch as your guests dive in eagerly. The crispy chips are the perfect vehicle for scooping up generous portions of this irresistible dip.
Enjoy your Ranch Taco Dip! 🎉🥑🌶️
