Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the sour cream layer, creating a smooth green layer.

Note
Storage: Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. The avocados may brown slightly; press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip to minimize oxidation.
Substitutions: For a vegan version, use vegan sour cream and mayonnaise, and omit the cheddar cheese or use a vegan shreds alternative.
Variations: Add sliced black olives or jalapeños between the green onion and cheese layers for extra spice and texture.
Ingredient Note: Refried beans are often found in the Latin foods aisle or near the potato chips in many supermarkets. Adjust the number of cans based on size (e.g., use three 9 oz cans if 15.5 oz cans are unavailable).
