taco DIP

Ingredients
• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• 2 packets (1 oz each) taco seasoning mix
• 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
• 1 (16 oz) container sour cream

GUACAMOLE:
• 4 medium to large avocados
• Juice of 4 limes
• 3-4 jalapenos chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic
• ½ Large red onion, chopped
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 packet ORTEGA guacamole seasoning
• (let the guacamole sit one hour before eating)

• 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 1 bag shredded lettuce
• 1 bunch fresh green onions, sliced
• 4 vine ripened tomatoes, seeded and diced


Directions
1. In a heavy skillet, combine ground beef with 1 packet of taco seasoning. Stir well and cook on medium until cooked through. Drain. Combine cooked beef with refried beans and set aside.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream and 1 packet of taco seasoning mix. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, place peeled and seeded avocados and mash well. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, chopped red onion, kosher salt, garlic and seasoning. Set aside
4.In a 9x13 or similar size serving dish, evenly spread the beef/bean mixture on bottom. Continue layering in the following order: sour cream mixture, guacamole, and shredded cheese, and lettuce. Top evenly with a layer of green onions and tomatoes. Wrap tightly, keep chilled, and serve with hearty corn chips. (instead of the tomatoes and onions I topped it with leftover pico de gallo, which I added to the end and is entirely optional)
