Servings: 8 people
Cost: $15–$20
Equipment
- 9 inch round pie dish
- plastic spider
Ingredients
- 3 16-ounce cans refried beans
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 3 cups guacamole
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tomato diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 4 green onions chopped
- Warm tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the refried beans and taco seasoning.
- Spread the refried beans into a single layer along the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Spread the guacamole into a layer over the refried beans.
- To create the spider web, pipe sour cream in lines across the guacamole to divide the dip into 16 sections. Pipe 2 curved lines across each section to create the inner and outer rows of the web.
- Arrange the diced tomato, shredded cheese, olives, and green onions around the perimeter of the dip, then add a plastic spider in the center.
- Serve with warm tortilla chips.
Notes
- Let the sour cream sit out for 10–15 minutes or stir briefly before piping so it’s easier to work with.
- Smooth the refried bean and guacamole layers evenly for a cleaner spider web.
- To make ahead, layer the beans and guacamole a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Add the sour cream web and toppings right before serving.
- Plastic spider: The spider is for decoration only and is not edible. Remove it before serving the dip.
