Note

Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The avocado layer may darken slightly; a light brush of lemon juice on top can help maintain color.

Ingredient Note: The original ingredient list is incomplete for the second and third layers. Ensure you have cottage cheese, avocado, green chilies, garlic, onion, lemon juice, sour cream, tomato, green onions, and black olives on hand.

Variation: For a spicier kick, add jalape&# 195;±os to the avocado layer or use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in the bean layer.
