30 Days of Holiday: Festive Bean Dip






Bursting with a bouquet of fresh flavors, this dip fits in wonderfully at summer picnics.  Festive colors and bold tastes also make it perfect for holiday parties.  It takes just minutes to prepare, and once you have, keep the ingredients handy.  Friends and family won't let you forget you made it.  They'll be asking for it again, and again.
The secret is in the spice...For added zip, sprinkle a little chopped cilantro across the top just before serving.

What's In It:

1 16 oz. can refried beans  (For taste, I prefer the "Taco Bell" brand.  If your store doesn't carry that, any other brand will do)
1 c. salsa  (Bottled over fresh, just this once.)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 pint sour cream
1 1.25 oz. pkg. taco seasoning
1 bunch green onions, sliced thin
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese

How To  Make It:

1. Stir together beans, salsa, cumin, and garlic powder.  Spread in bottom of 9x11 serving dish.
2. Stir taco seasoning mix into sour cream.  Spread over bean layer.
3. Sprinkle with cheeses, followed by tomatoes and green onions.
4. Cover and chill for at least one hour.  Serve cold with tortilla chips.
