Instructions
 

Prepare the Bean Layer:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the refried beans with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x9 inch serving dish, creating a solid base layer.

      Make the Guacamole Layer:

        - In a separate bowl, scoop the ripe avocados and mash them with a fork. Add lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mix until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Fold in the diced tomato and chopped cilantro. Layer this guacamole mixture on top of the refried beans, spreading it evenly.

          Create the Sour Cream Layer:

            - In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning, mixing until smooth and well incorporated. Carefully spread this mixture over the guacamole layer, ensuring even coverage.

              Add Toppings:

                - Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese across the sour cream layer. Next, distribute the pico de gallo or fresh salsa, followed by the sliced black olives and chopped green onions. If desired, add pickled jalapeños on top for a delightful kick of heat.

                  Garnish:

                    - For a vibrant finish, top the dip with fresh cilantro leaves, adding a burst of color and refreshing flavor.

                      Serve:

                        - Your delicious Layered Taco Bean Dip is ready to be served! Pair it with crunchy tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or any dippable delight you desire.
