Preparation:
Use a 10-12-inch diameter glass shallow round plate (glass makes a pretty presentation, like it does with trifle).
For layer 1, mix the refried beans and taco seasoning; spread onto plate, not quite to the edge.
Layer 2: mash avocadoes with sour cream, lemon juice, and garlic; spread on top of bean layer.
Layer 3: Sprinkle green chile and green onions on avocado layer.
Layer 4: Combine cheeses and sprinkle over chile layer. Layer 5: Lay sliced olives and tomato cubes in a wedge-shaped design. Decorate with parsley and cilantro.
Serve with chips and spreading knives--and a pitcher of margaritas. |
