My daughter saw a version of this layered dip in a children's Friend magazine, and was keen to try it herself. We've made some modifications, tweaking things so we have it tasting how we like. And, have since made it many, many times.  My girls even love put some in a tupperware and bringing it to school with tortilla chips. In order to avoid losing the recipe page pinned on the fridge, or forgetting what changes we've made, I thought it best to post it here! Enjoy!

Freshly made layer dip, ready for tortilla chips!

Easy Layer Dip

In an 8x8 pan spread: 

1 can (16 oz/450 g) refried beans (we prefer black refried beans, but regular refried beans work well, too). 

Mix together, and spread on top of the refried beans: 

2 avocados, mashed (we have made it with 1 avocado when we were low on avocados)

2-4 Tbsp salsa

1-2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

Mix together, and spread on top of the guacamole/avocado layer: 

1 cup (225 g) sour cream

2-4 Tbsp salsa

Grate and cover the top with a healthy layer of: 

1 - 2 cups grated cheddar or marble cheese

Dice and spread on top, as desired: 

~1 - 2 cups red, orange, and/or yellow bell pepper, diced

~1/2 - 1 cup mini tomatoes, diced

Sprinkle the top with: 

1/4 cup diced chives or green onion

Cover and store in the refrigerator until serving. Best served with GF tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Topping with grated marble cheese!

Look at her go! She made the dip completely on her own - but she did share it with us.
