Recipe of the week: Taco Dip

This is a dip that is an absolute hit at parties! Everyone loves it. I got this recipe from my friend's mom, and added my own personal touch. RIP Pam Dittmar, this one's for you.

Warning: If you make this for people once, they will ask for it again and again. Be prepared to forever make the dip for parties!

Taco Dip
1/2 can of either refried black beans or regular black beans mixed with olive oil in a blender until smooth (fyi - some cans of refried black beans may contain meat products)
1 16oz container of sour cream
1/2 packet of taco seasoning
Use your own discretion with amount of the following:
Shredded lettuce
Tomato
Green onions
Shredded cheese (I like to use the Mexican cheese blend, but others can be used)
Optional: Avocado, sliced and pretty looking

A must: A pretty serving dish that will dazzle and make people forget that they've come to the end of the tasty dip

Mix the taco seasoning with the sour cream.

Spread onto serving dish in the following order:
Beans
Sour cream mixture
Lettuce
Cheese
Tomatoes
Green onions

Garnish with Avocado slices if you want it to be even more pretty.

Serve with tortilla chips and watch people devour it!
