  • 2 cans refried beans with chiles (16 oz each)
  • 2 medium tomatoes chopped
  • 1 box cream cheese room temp (8 oz)
  • 1 can chopped green chiles drained (4 oz)
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 can sliced black olives drained (3.8 oz)
  • 4 medium tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Begin by combining the two cans of refried beans with the taco seasoning in a large bowl. Set it aside.

For Layering the Dip:

  • In a separate small bowl, whip the cream cheese and drained chiles together until creamy.
  • Chop four medium tomatoes into small chunks. In another bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped tomatoes, minced red onion, jalapeno, parsley, garlic, and lime juice. Set this mixture aside.
  • Prepare to layer your dip by taking a 9x13 pan and evenly spreading the refried bean mixture on the bottom.
  • Spread the cream cheese and green chiles mixture evenly over the layer of beans.
  • Next, layer the pico de gallo mixture on top of the cream cheese layer you just created.
  • Sprinkle drained black olives, any remaining chopped tomatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese on the very top.
  • Lastly, place dollops of sour cream right in the center of your dip.

To Serve:

  • To serve, place tortilla chips on a cookie sheet. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and bake the chips for about 6 minutes or until they're warmed through.
  • Delight in your scrumptious dip paired with the warm tortilla chips!
