Equipment You’ll Need (Optional):

• 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning mix
• 1 (16 oz) can refried beans

   In a bowl, stir the refried beans with half of the taco seasoning. Spread evenly across the bottom of your dish.

3. Layer 3 – Salsa:
   Spoon your salsa evenly over the crema layer.
4. Layer 4 – Avocado:

 Extra Tips & Variations:

• Add a protein punch: Stir a can of drained black beans or cooked ground beef into Layer 1.
• Swap the crema: Mix plain Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangier layer.
• Spice it up: Fold in chopped fresh cilantro or a dash of hot sauce into your avocado.
• Make it nacho-style: Serve warm by baking the layered dip at 350°F for 10 minutes—cheese melts into gooey perfection!
