Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 can refried beans High-quality canned refried beans are recommended.
Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup guacamole Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 cup sour cream Let sit at room temperature for easy spreading.
  • 1 cup salsa Sweet and tangy varieties work best.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Any cheese can be used; queso fresco is a great choice.
  • 1 black olive for spider decoration Placed at the center for decoration.
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning Optional for extra flavor.
  • 1 ripe avocado for decoration Adds to the festive look.
For Serving
  • 1 package tortilla chips For dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a serving dish, spread the refried beans evenly at the bottom, creating a solid base for your dip.
  2. Layer the guacamole over the beans, smoothing it out gently with a spatula for an even layer.
  3. Carefully spread the sour cream on top of the guacamole layer to keep the layers distinct and visually appealing.
  4. Next, pour the salsa evenly over the sour cream layer, letting it settle nicely without mixing the layers too much.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
  6. Using a piping bag, pipe sour cream in a circular pattern to create a spider web, then drag a toothpick through the web to accentuate the design.
  7. Finish the dip by placing a black olive at the center to resemble a spider.
  8. Serve with crispy tortilla chips alongside for dipping.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze for about 2 months; reheat gently before serving. Useful tips: Don't spread the beans too thick and let the sour cream sit at room temperature to spread easily.
