Super Yummy Dip!

2 cans of refried beans

taco seasoning (not sure on amount, maybe 1/4 c?)

sour cream

guacamole (I used Lighthouse Avocado dip - already seasoned and very yummy)
cheese

green onions

tomatoes

We did two layers of cheese.

This is a super yummy dip, as noted above, that my husband's aunt made for a family gathering. I do not generally like tomatoes, sour cream or guacamole, but I took one bite of this and could NOT stop eating it. It's fantastic! As soon as I make my own, I will post a picture.

Super Yummy!

Beautiful layers

 Even if you don't like one of the components of this dip by itself, all in there together is fantastic. I absolutely cannot stand tomatoes, but in this dip I am absolutely in love with them!
