No avocado, No refried beans - Mexican Layer Dip image

I wanted to take a Mexican dip to a party, but one set of friends hates refried beans and another can't stand avocado. After an extensive search, I decided to combine a few of the different recipes here and this is what I came up with. I didn't have any left over to bring home...

Time 15m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cream cheese (lowfat or fat free is fine)
8 ounces sour cream (lowfat or fat free is fine)
2 1/2-3 cups salsa (how hot depends on you)
3 cups diced lettuce
2 diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (or a reduced fat cheese if you wish, use more if you love cheese)
3/4 cup diced green onion
3/4 cup diced green pepper (small pieces)
8 pitted black olives, sliced thinly
hot banana peppers or jalapeno, slices (if desired)

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer, beat the sour cream and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread mixture evenly on an oval platter or"medium" pizza pan size plate.
  • Cover evenly with salsa, a good thick layer.
  • The pan size will determine how much you need.
  • Sprinkle lettuce evenly all over.
  • Top evenly with diced tomatoes and then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Sprinkle evenly with green pepper, then green onion, then the black olives and banana pepper/jalapeno slices (optional).
  • Serve immediately with nacho chips (I like Tostidas, heavier style chips should be heated in the oven first for 5 minutes at 350F to make them crispier).
