¡Vamos a comer Mexicano!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody!  Today is our excuse to party and eat tons of yummy Mexican food!  One of my Cinco de Mayo favs is 7 Layer Taco Dip.  Not only is it easy and inexpensive to make, it's delicious!  Here's the recipe:

Ingredients (recipe at bottom)

Mix re-fried beans with taco seasoning

Spread seasoned beans at the bottom of a platter

Spread sour cream on top of beans

Spread salsa on top of sour cream

Add chopped tomatoes and green onions (chives)

Place lettuce

Add cheese (I used Mexican blend)

Place olives

 And.....

Viola!

I serve mine with tostadas and jalapenos for a kick but tortilla chips would do just fine

                                                                     

 Ingredients:

1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

1 large tomato, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 bunch chopped green onions

1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded

1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives,
