Ok, the statement above may be a LITTLE bit over-dramatic, but this dip is seriously amazing.  I recently moved into a new apartment, so I decided to throw a housewarming party this past Saturday.  I had all kinds of goodies: chocolate chip cookie bars, chicken wings, cranberry-glazed meatballs, pretzels, a veggie platter, and a few other things.  The only thing to disappear completely? This taco dip.

Throughout the night, I was being bombarded with rave reviews of the dip, and even the next morning (some friends stayed the night), I was hearing about it!  The bowl was literally scraped clean when I got to it.

The best part is that this is super simple to make! It’s basically a traditional layered taco dip with the addition of some mashed avocado (yum!).

Here’s how to make it:

1. Gather your ingredients.  (Click here to view them.)

2. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayo, and taco seasoning mix.

3. In another bowl, mash avocado and mix in lemon juice.

4. In a bowl or serving platter, layer the following (in this order): refried beans, avocado mixture, sour cream mixture, cheese, tomatoes, and olives.

5. Chill for a few hours, et voila!  Life-changing taco dip that is guaranteed to disappear quickly.

Because I served mine in a bowl and not on a platter, I found it easiest to keep a spoon nearby and let people serve themselves some dip on paper plates.  That way, they could get a little bit of every layer on their plates.
