7 layer dip

ingredients: (for one 9x13 dish)
- two 16oz cans refried beans (I like the taco bell beans, and their recipe says to mix 1 tbsp taco seasoning per can into the beans)
- about 16oz your choice salsa - about 15oz your favorite guacamole (costco has a three pack of guacamole that I love not only because its delicious, but because you can freeze the other two packs until you need them!)
- about 8oz sour cream
- about 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar is my preference, but you could probably use the mexican blend too)
- one 2.25oz can sliced olives (you could slice them yourself, but hey, if they are already sliced....)
- two green onions, sliced (depends on how oniony you want it or how much of the onion you use, I use only the greenest part)
- chips for eating

directions: 
- spread a layer of refried beans followed by a layer of salsa, gaucamole then sour cream in the serving dish of your choice (a 9x13 casserole or baking dish is perfect). i wont lie, after the salsa, the guacamole and sour cream are a bit tricky to smooth out without mixing, so dont worry too much about making it look too pretty.
- sprinkle shredded cheese on top to cover the sour cream.
- top with the olives and green onions.
- cover and chill in the fridge until serving time
- serve with your favorite tortilla chips. (i like regular corn tortilla chips, but i think the nacho flavored doritos would be fantastic too!)
