Instructions

  1. Prepare the bean layer: In a medium bowl, combine refried beans with ground cumin and chili powder. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
  2. Mix the creamy layer: In a separate bowl, blend sour cream and drained cottage cheese until smooth. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt, mixing well.
  3. Spread the bean mixture: Spread the bean mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
  4. Spread the creamy layer: Gently spread the sour cream and cottage cheese blend over the bean layer without mixing.
  5. Spread the guacamole: Spread the guacamole evenly over the creamy layer.
  6. Spread salsa: Spread pico de gallo or fresh salsa over the guacamole layer.
  7. Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salsa layer.
  8. Add toppings: Top with sliced black olives, chopped green onions, jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro.
  9. Chill the dip: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips or fresh veggies.

Notes

  • Low-sodium refried beans are preferred for a healthier option.
  • Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream.
  • Jalapeño pepper is optional and can be omitted for less spice.
