Course: Appetizer, Side Dish
Cuisine: Tex Mex

Ingredients

  • 4 avocados
  • 1 can refried pinto beans
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • .75 lb ground beef, cooked with half the taco seasoning (I used Bocca meatless crumbles)
  • 3 Roma tomatoes
  • 2 8 oz. containers sour cream (I used Tofutti brand — tastes like the real deal)
  • Cheddar cheese shredded, to your liking (I used Follow Your Heart brand — it comes packaged in a small block)
  • Tortilla chips

Hollyized Steps:

  • Oven to 350 degrees
  • First, peel and pit your avocados. I found the trick to peeling is cut them in halves and use a spoon to separate the skin and inside without making a mess. Mash them in a small mixing bowl to make the guac!
  • Dice the tomatoes and shred the amount of cheese you wish to use in your dish.
  • Combine the leftover taco seasoning with the sour cream in a separate mixing bowl.
  • Spray an 8×8 baking pan with EVOO and evenly spread the refried pinto beans along the bottom of the pan.
  • Then add the seasoned beef as a second layer.
  • Spread a layer of the guac on top of the ground beef.
  • Top the guac with a layer of the seasoned sour cream.
  • Finish off the dip by topping with tomatoes and the shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Let it cool for about five minutes.
  • Serve warm and let your guests dig in with tortilla chips! People will be all over this dip like the Packers tackling the Steelers! It’s delicious with a mix of crunch, hearty and light! Now bring on a Packers win!
