Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the Sour Cream Layer

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, taco seasoning mix, and sour cream.
• Mix well until smooth and evenly blended. Set aside.
    ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 packet taco seasoning, 8 ounces sour cream

Assemble the Layers

  • Using clear plastic cups or a large serving platter, spread each layer in the following order:
 – Bean dip
 – Guacamole
 – Sour cream mixture
 – Grated cheddar cheese
 – Diced tomatoes
 – Sliced green onions
 – Sliced black olives
    2 cans Fritos bean dip, 2 cartons guacamole dip, 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup tomatoes, 1 cup green onions, 1 (2.5-ounce) can sliced black olives

Serve

  • Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
• Accompany with tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops for dipping.

Notes

Substitutions:
• Replace Fritos bean dip with refried beans mixed with 2 tablespoons taco seasoning.
• Substitute light sour cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
• Use Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend cheese instead of sharp cheddar.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings:
• Serve as an appetizer at parties, potlucks, or game-day gatherings.
• Pair with Mexican-inspired dishes such as enchiladas, tacos, or fajitas.
• Add a spoonful of salsa or pico de gallo on top for extra flavor.
• For a family-style option, spread the layers on a large serving platter instead of individual cups and serve with a spoon for easy dipping.
Storage and Freezing:
• Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Do not freeze, as guacamole and sour cream layers may separate when thawed.
• For best texture, assemble just before serving.
