Ingredients:


16 ounces refried beans

1 package taco seasoning mix

2 large avocados Ripe and mashed

1/3 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic -- pressed

4 ounces chopped green chiles -- drained

4 medium green onions with tops -- chopped

1/2 pound grated cheddar cheese

1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese -- grated

12 medium pitted ripe olives -- sliced

1 large tomato -- diced

1 bunch fresh parsley or cilantro leaves -- for garnish

1 package a bag of tortilla chips -- for accompaniment
 

Preparation / Directions:


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.
