It’s quick to assemble, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for parties, potlucks, or tailgates.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped Roma tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced (optional)
  • Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Tortilla chips, for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix refried beans with taco seasoning until smooth. Spread evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
  2. In another bowl, combine sour cream and softened cream cheese. Beat until silky and lump-free. Spread gently over the bean layer.
  3. Mash avocados with lime juice, diced red onion, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spread guacamole over the creamy layer.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the guacamole.
  5. Arrange chopped Roma tomatoes along the short edges for ‘end zones.’ Scatter black olives and jalapeños around the sides as the ‘crowd.’ Use green onions to create ‘yard lines,’ or pipe sour cream for lines. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
  6. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for best flavor melding).
  7. Serve chilled with sturdy tortilla chips. Scoop across the layers for the full stadium effect.

Notes

For best results, use freshly shredded cheddar and add guacamole and tomatoes just before serving to prevent browning. Chill between layers for crisp stripes. Customize with different beans, cheeses, or toppings. Make ahead except for guac and tomatoes. For gluten-free, check beans and taco seasoning labels.
