Ingredient notes
*Heating canned beans before consuming them is often recommended to ensure safety. To cook refried beans on the stovetop, open the can and scrape them into a saucepan. Stir them constantly over medium heat until they are hot and smooth. Let the beans cool completely before using them in this recipe.
**We recommend using mild Pico de Gallo and Salsa as it is generally more eater friendly. However, should your potluck crowd prefer spicy – go for it and use medium or hot Pico de Gallos & salsas instead.
Method
4 steps
Tap a step’s number when it’s done.
Spread the cooked and cooled refried beans onto the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. Mix the sour cream, cream cheese and taco seasoning together until well combined.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the refried beans. Spread a layer of guacamole evenly over the sour cream mixture.
Add even layers of salsa and cheese over top. Then top with the Romaine lettuce and finish with some Pico de Gallo.
Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with chips.
