Ingredients:

  • 2 cups refried beans
  • 2 cups guacamole
  • 1¼ cups sour cream
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced Roma tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives

Instructions:

  1. Spread the 2 cups of refried beans evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish using a spatula, smoothing the top to create a flat base.
  2. Carefully spread the 2 cups of guacamole over the beans, ensuring it reaches the edges of the dish to create a clean border.
  3. In a small bowl, stir the 1 tsp of taco seasoning into 1 cup of the sour cream until fully incorporated, then spread this mixture smoothly over the guacamole.
  4. Drain the 1 cup of chunky salsa of excess liquid and spoon it over the sour cream, spreading it gently to avoid disturbing the layers beneath.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese across the salsa, then scatter the 1/2 cup of diced Roma tomatoes and 1/2 cup of sliced black olives over the cheese, reserving a few olive slices for the spider decoration.
  6. Transfer the remaining 1/4 cup of sour cream into a Ziploc bag and snip a tiny corner off; pipe a spiral starting from the center of the dip moving outward.
  7. Use a toothpick or knife to drag lines from the center to the edge of the spiral to create a web effect.
  8. Place one sliced olive in the center of the web and use small olive slivers to create spider legs.
