TEX-MEX DIP

By margiekyle

Salsa, cheese, avocado, beans, and Mexican-style veggies are layered together in this south-of-the-border chip dip. Margarita glasses make for a super-cool presentation, but everything can go in the same dish if you don’t have the time.

Ingredients

• 1 16 oz. can of refried beans
• 1 tbsp. jarred jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
• 2 ripened avocados, peeled and seeded
• 2 tsp. lime juice, divided
• 1 16 oz. jar of gourmet salsa of your choice
• 1 8 oz. container of sour cream
• 1 cup Tex-Mex shredded cheese
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 6 margarita glasses, for presentation

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix refried beans with jalapeno peppers and set aside. In a separate bowl, mash avocado with 1 tsp. of lime juice and season with salt. Finally, mix the remaining tsp. of lime juice with the sour cream, season with salt and set aside.

2. Layout your margarita glasses on your workspace and begin dividing each ingredient for your dip. Fill the lower flute of the margarita glass with the refried beans and put the rest aside for another use. Then, evenly divide the guacamole, gourmet salsa, sour cream, and top each glass with the cheese and garnish with the sliced green onions. Serve with tortilla chips.
