Ingredients

  • 16 oz refried beans one can of your favorite brand
  • 1 oz taco seasoning one packet
  • 2-4 tbsp heavy cream to create a creamy consistency
  • 8 oz Fiesta blend shredded cheese divide into two portions for layering
  • 16 oz guacamole store-bought container works perfectly
  • 16 oz sour cream can use plain Greek yogurt as alternative
  • 1 cup chunky salsa your choice of mild or spicy
  • 2.25 oz sliced black olives if using oil-packed, rinse them
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered; any variety will work
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor
  • tortilla chips for serving and scooping

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the refried beans with the taco seasoning. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to enhance the creaminess and mix until well combined. You can add more heavy cream if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  • Start layering in your cups. Begin with a generous spoonful of the refried bean mixture as the first layer.
  • Sprinkle half of the Fiesta blend shredded cheese over the beans. This layer adds a delicious cheesy flavor that complements the beans perfectly.
  • Next, add a layer of guacamole. Use a spoon to smooth it out evenly over the cheese layer.
  • Add a layer of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt on top of the guacamole. This adds a lovely creaminess and balances the flavors.
  • Spoon in a layer of chunky salsa. This layer adds freshness and a bit of zest to your dip cups.
  • Top the salsa with sliced black olives, quartered cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. These final layers bring color and freshness, making your dip cups visually appealing and delicious.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days; assemble just before serving for best freshness.
  • Substitute dairy-free or vegan options for cheese and sour cream to suit dietary needs.
  • Use veggie sticks instead of tortilla chips for a low-carb variation.
  • Drain excess liquid from salsa to avoid soggy layers.
  • Layer gently to maintain distinct and appealing layers in each cup.
