Ingredients

  • 1 container (8 oz.) whipped cream cheese spread
  • 1 can (16 oz.) refried beans
  • 1 cup salsa (I prefer salsa from a jar rather than fresh salsa which can be watery)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full fat or reduced fat, not fat free)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (see note)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • ½ cup sliced green onions (about 2 green onions, more or less to taste)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
  • tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  • Spread whipped cream cheese in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or serving platter in an even layer. In a bowl, stir together refried beans and salsa until evenly combined. Spread the bean mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese.
  • In another bowl, stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning until combined. Spread carefully over the bean layer.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of the sour cream and mayo mixture in an even layer.
  • Sprinkle lettuce on top of cheese, and then top with green onions and tomatoes.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Nutrition information does not include chips.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Just make the cream cheese, bean, sour cream and mayo, and cheese layers. Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 4 days ahead. Add the fresh ingredients (lettuce, green onions, and tomatoes) right before serving.
  • I like to use my homemade taco seasoning but you could use a packet. I only use two tablespoons of my homemade seasoning but if you buy a packet, especially if it’s mild, you can probably use the entire package.
