Seven Layer Dip

***This dip is becoming a Super Bowl tradition. (I'm just a little behind in posting it...) I found this recipe at allrecipes.com, but made a few changes. I think the thing I like the most about this particular seven layer dip, is the seasoned sour cream.***

INGREDIENTS:

2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and diced

1 1/2 TBSP fresh lime juice

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup salsa

garlic salt to taste

ground black pepper to taste

1 (8 oz) container sour cream

1 (1 oz) package taco seasoning mix (I like the Taco Bell brand)

4 roma tomatoes, diced

1 bunch green onions, finely chopped

1 (16 oz) can refried beans

2 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese (I use whatever kind I have)

abt 1 lb cooked ground beef (with onions and green peppers added)

can green chiles

1 (2.25 oz) can black olives, drained and finely chopped

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat up refried beans in a skillet. Add cooked ground beef (w/ onions and green peppers). Add can of green chiles.

2. Spread refried bean mixture in a 9x13 pan or on a large serving platter. Let stand in pan for 30 minutes to cool before adding other layers.

3. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados. Mix in lime juice, cilantro, salsa, garlic salt, and pepper.

4. In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and taco seasoning.
