Steps To Layer Taco Dip

First, start with the ground beef layer. Next add the creamy layers of avocado and taco seasoning. Finally, top with shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, and black olives.

Step 1 – Cook and crumble beef into refried beans. Mix beans and spread into a 9″x13″ glass casserole or baking dish. Spread ground beef on top, press into beans to help everything stick together.

Step 2 – Mix Avocado, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and spread over beans.

Step 3 – Mix sour cream, mayo, taco seasoning and spread over avocado layer

Step 4 – Layer the rest of the ingredients in order: grated cheese, green onions, olives, diced tomatoes.

Quick tip: a great way to evenly spread all layers of taco dip is by using a rubber spatula. Work each layer by spreading evenly across from one edge of the pan to the other.

How to cook ground beef: Cook ground beef and a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until brown. For best results, remove excess grease, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
