Ingredients:
1 can refried bean (regular or spicy)
1 package taco seasoning mix
2 cups sour cream
2 ripe avocados
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Tabasco or hot sauce (optional)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 can black olives, drained and sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
tortilla chips
Preparation:
1. Spread the refried beans in the bottom of a 13×9x2 baking dish.
2. Cut, remove pits and peel the avocados.
3. Place in a bowl with lemon juice and hot sauce and mash with fork till smooth (some little chunks are okay).
4. Gently spread over beans.
5. Combine the sour cream and taco seasoning, stir well.
6. Spread over avocado.
7. Top with one layer each of lettuce, cheese, Green onions, olives and tomatoes (in that order).

This is a great party dip, it should be eaten the same day, and not made too far in advance. The avacados and tomatoes get a bit funky and the appearance not at all appetizing if you have left-overs.
