Ingredient Notes:

Refried Beans: Refried beans is a dish of cooked and mashed beans that are traditionally found in Mexican cuisine. There are several different ways to make refried beans and if you are extra lazy, you can even buy them pre-made at the store to add to this dish or omit them completely.

Avocados: Avocados are a great source of potassium, and they are packed with monounsaturated fats aka healthy fats. They are also high in fiber and folate and make a great layer in this 7 layer dip.

How to make 7 layer dip:

1. To make the refried beans, drain + rinse the can of black beans and transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork or hand mixer to roughly mash the beans to desired consistency. Add olive oil, black beans, & diced red onion to a pot over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion + beans soften, and become fragrant. Add all of the spices, cooking for another 1 – 2 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce + lemon juice, stir and cook to combine the liquid. Add the heavy cream, cooking for another 1 – 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to 9×13 in glass casserole dish.  Spread evenly and allow to cool in the fridge.
2. To make the avocado layer, mash the two ripe avocados in a small bowl until smooth. Add the chopped green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, + lime juice. Mix until combined.
3. Spread evenly onto the cooled refried bean layer.
4. Add the sour cream on top of the avocado layer, spread evenly.
5. Add the salsa on top of the sour cream layer, spread evenly.
6. Grate the cheddar cheese and transfer evenly on top of the salsa.
7. Top the cheese with the diced tomato.
