* As an alternative to refried beans, you could also blend up canned kidney or pinto beans and season accordingly.
** Use any desired sweeteners in your sour cream... or omit the sweetener completely. I used brown sugar.
*** You could purchase chips or corn chips to serve with your dip or prepare 'tortilla chips' like we do. To do this: Slice 3 wholemeal tortillas into triangles and place them on a baking tray. Spray with oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Place under the grill until lightly browned and crispy. They are amazing and look so rustic and home made!
Method
- Make the bean layer: Add all bean layer ingredients to a small bowl and mix until combined. Spoon the mixture into a dip bowl and press down into an even layer. Set aside.
- Make the guacamole layer: Add all guacamole layer ingredients to a small bowl and mash with a fork until combined. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the guacamole into the dip bowl and spread into an even layer over the bean layer. Set aside.
- Make the sour cream layer: Add all sour cream layer ingredients to a processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Add more apple cider vinegar or lemon/lime juice for more acidity if needed. Pour the sour cream evenly over the guacamole layer in the dip bowl. Set aside.
- Make the salsa layer: Add all salsa layer ingredients to a bowl and toss until combined. Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the salsa over the sour cream layer in the dip bowl. Set aside.
- Garnish: Top the dip with your favourite garnishes such as sliced green onions, olives and coriander leaves.
- Serve with tortilla chips! Enjoy!
