Ingredients
  • 2 can refried beans (15.5 oz each, or 9 oz cans adjusted as needed)
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 6 whole ripe avocados
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped

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).
