Ingredients
Scale
Base Layers:
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (2.25 oz) sliced black olives
- 3 green onions, sliced
Toppings & Garnishes:
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Tortilla chips or fresh veggie sticks for serving
Spider Web Decoration:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 small plastic spider (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Layers: In a medium bowl, mix refried beans with taco seasoning. Spread in the bottom of a dish as the first layer. Then layer sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, black olives, and green onions.
- Assemble the Dip: Smooth each layer gently with a spatula to keep them even. Reserve a little sour cream for the spider web.
- Add the Spider Web & Garnish: Place reserved sour cream in a piping bag or plastic bag with a small corner snipped. Pipe concentric circles, then drag a toothpick outward from the center to create a web. Add a plastic spider if desired.
- Serve: Serve with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or crackers and enjoy!
Notes
- For a healthier version, use light sour cream and reduced-fat cheese.
- Serve with fresh vegetables for dipping instead of chips.
- Make ahead up to 4 hours; add spider web just before serving.
- For gluten-free: use certified gluten-free taco seasoning and chips.
- Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 2 days; guacamole may brown slightly.
