"bean dip" news and stories

No Super Bowl party is complete without the requisite 7-layer Mexican dip. My recipe was handed down to me by an older family friend with the notes "Men love this!" scrawled across it...so hands off, ladies! It serves a large group so you can divide this between two plates. And, please, serve only with Fritos Scoops.  Remember, I take my football food seriously, and just like how you can only serve clam dip with Ruffles, there is just no substitute for Fritos in this recipe.

Walking Taco

Note: There is some debate over the origin of the name (thanks, commenters!). Walking Taco is the name of the recipe given to me.

2 cans of refried beans combined with 1 packet of taco seasoning mix
1 tub of guacamole (e.g. the kind where you mix the salsa in, or make your own)
1 pint of sour cream
2 4 oz. cans diced green chiles (or use one can of jalapeños and one can of green chiles if you want it spicy)
2 4 oz. can of sliced black olives (or a combination of green and black olives)
4 green onions thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2/3 pounds of sharp cheddar grated

Divide bean mixture between two plates. Spread guacamole over both plates of beans. Layer remaining ingredients between the two plates. Top both with cheese. Serve cold or at room temp with Fritos Scoops.
