Description

These Mexican Snack Squares are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer, combining a buttery, flaky crescent roll crust with creamy refried beans and a tangy sour cream layer. Topped with fresh vegetables like tomatoes, green peppers, and onions, plus sharp cheddar cheese and briny olives, every bite offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Ideal for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings, this no-cook assembly (after baking the crust) makes hosting effortless. The flavors meld beautifully in the fridge, making it a make-ahead favorite that serves easily as finger food.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
  3. Place the dough triangles crosswise in an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom.
  4. Press the dough firmly over the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides to form a crust, sealing any perforations.
  5. Bake the crust for 14 to 19 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
  7. Spread the refried beans evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and taco seasoning until well combined.
  9. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the layer of beans.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sour cream layer.
  11. Top with chopped green onions, green pepper, tomatoes, and sliced olives.
  12. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  13. Cut into squares and serve chilled, optionally with salsa.
