12 Serving

Ingredients

• 1 pouch or can refried beans (15 to 16 ounces)
• 1 ¼ cups mild red salsa, divided
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 small/medium ripe avocados
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (from about 1 lime)
• 1 medium jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
• Fine salt, to taste
• 1 cup sour cream
• 6 ounces grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 ½ cups)
• ⅓ cup drained pickled jalapeño peppers, roughly chopped, OR 1 small can (2.25 ounces dry weight) drained sliced black olives OR 1 chopped tomato
• ⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions (about 2 to 3)
• ⅓ cup fresh cilantro leaves
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

1. Stir together the refried beans, ¼ cup salsa, and cumin in a bowl. Spread the mixture across the base of an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. In another bowl, use a large fork to mash the avocados. Add the lime juice, half of the chopped jalapeño, and ¼ teaspoon salt, then stir until combined. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the beans.
3. In another bowl, stir together the sour cream and the remaining jalapeño. Season it with a pinch or two of salt, to taste. Spread the sour cream over the beans.
4. Pour the remaining salsa into a mesh colander over the sink to release the excess moisture. Spread the salsa over the mixture.
5. Sprinkle the cheese all over, followed by the drained jalapeños*, green onions, and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
