I made this for my sister in law's baby shower and it was gone in seconds! Really nice twist with the guacomole.

I used to pay $6 for this at the grocery store and would only get 1/3 of what this makes. The husband says its ten times better too! We aren't guac lovers so we left it out. Allow to set in the fridge over night or at least a few hours so the flavors have a chance to come together. This was a great recipe to involve my toddler in the kitchen. She helped mix half the taco seasoning in the refried beans and the other half in the sour cream. She was also great at sprinkling on the cheese, tomatoes and olives.

I added taco meat as one of the layers and tomato on top for more color.

I made this twice for two different occasions. It was wonderful. Remember to leave out the hamburger if your event is on a Friday night during lent because no one would eat it the first time since it had meat in it! The second time, it was also perfect. It takes a lot longer than the recipe says. Between browning the hamburger and letting it cool and layering everything just right, it took 45 min. to an hour.

This is really good. I made the slightest of changes in that I mixed just a bit of the taco seasoning into the refried beans & then the rest into the sour cream. Also, instead of topping it all with the guacamole, I went in this order: beans, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapenos. The reason for this is that the avocado browns when exposed to air. You can squirt lime juice over it to help slow it down, but it's just easier to put the guac between the beans and the sour cream. No browning. :-) Also, I think you can use softened cream cheese in place of the sour cream if you prefer.

This is wonderful dip and good to serve at any party. I make some minor adjustments: I add the taco seasoning to the sour cream. Then instead of a chopped tomato, I add a layer of chunky salsa over the sour cream then on top of the cheese in addition to the olives and onions I add chopped pickled jalapenos. The dish is always empty when leaving a party.

this rules!! my son who submitted it rules!!

Great tasting and easy to make! I also added a few chopped jalapenos on top for an extra kick!

I took this dish to work for a pot luck luncheon. Everyone loved it! It was a easy dish to take and prepare. I mixed the taco seasoning with the beans... I didn't have tomatoes or guacomole, so I just used salsa in its place. Took along a bag of chips.....it was a real crowd pleaser.

I have been making a version of this recipe for years..layer of refried beans, then guac, then sour cream with the seasoning mixed in (no measuring, just to taste) then shredded lettuce, drained salsa, then a layer of mexican cheese, black olive, green onion and jalapeno slices sprinkled on top. I have never personally tried this (can not stand taco seasoning or black olives) but my fiance' requests this for any function, gathering...weekend. Everyone always raves about this, I am constantly asked for the recipe and there is never any left.

I was looking for something quick and easy to make for a party and this was an instant hit. No one realized it was meatless, but that didn't stop them from inhaling it.

Quick, easy and tasty!!

I mix the taco seasoning with the refried beans before spreading on the platter. I also use a different layering combination. I do beans, guacamole, sour cream, drained chunky salsa (so it doesn't make the dip runny), cheese, onions and olives. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't love this dip!

I omitted the guacamole (yuk). I made this for a small party of 4 women and they liked it. Mixed the seasoning packet with the sour cream and added a little more sour cream than the recipe calls for. Not something I'd eat a lot of but would probably make again for another small gathering as it was quick and easy to assemble.

Did not like the taco seasoning in this dip. It was just "okay".

I made this for a Mexican themed birthday party and everybody loved it! It was the first dish to go.

I made this for a Christmas party and everyone loved it. I mixed the taco seasoning with the beans as some of the reviews suggested and added a can of Rotel on top of the beans. I didn't mix the seasoning with the sour cream. Everyone loved the "kick" of the Rotel. My kids came home from college the same day and finished off the dip the next day for breakfast! I will definitely make this again. Very tasty!
