  1. Combine 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, 1/2 cup of salsa, and 1/8 cup of warm water with 32 oz of refried beans in a bowl.
  2. Stir the mixture until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Spread the seasoned bean mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish or two pie plates.

  5. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning into the rest of the sour cream.
  6. Spread the seasoned sour cream evenly over the bean layer.

  8. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup of salsa and the reserved 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream into the mashed avocados.

  12. Scatter chopped tomatoes, chopped black olives, and sliced green onions over the top.
