Instructions

1. Spread the refried beans evenly across a large serving platter to create the base layer. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the beans.

2. Gently spread the guacamole over the bean layer, smoothing it out to cover the surface.

3. Spoon the salsa over the guacamole and spread it into a thin, even layer.

4. Add the dairy-free sour cream by placing several small spoonfuls across the salsa. Use the back of a spoon or a knife to carefully spread it into a smooth layer.

5. Scatter the tomatoes, green onions, and diced yellow bell pepper evenly over the sour cream layer.

6. Drizzle the dairy-free queso-style dip across the top. Finish with any optional garnishes such as jalapeños, olives, cilantro, or lime wedges.

7. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

For best presentation, assemble the dip in a wide shallow platter so the layers remain visible.

Add fresh toppings like tomatoes and cilantro just before serving to maintain freshness.
