Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 1 9-ounce can of bean dip
- 1 6-ounce container of guacamole
- 12 ounces of sour cream
- 1 1-ounce packet of taco seasoning mix
- 1 8-ounce package of shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and finely diced
- 1 tomato chopped
Begin by gathering all of your ingredients.
Spread the bean dip evenly in a glass dish or on a large serving platter, then carefully layer the guacamole on top. Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 20 minutes to allow the layers to firm up.
While the dip is chilling, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning in a bowl, mixing until fully blended and smooth.
Once the layered dip has set, gently spread the sour cream mixture over the guacamole layer. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top, then garnish with chopped tomatoes and diced jalapeños. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy!
