5-LAYER MEXICAN DIP OR NACHOS SUPREME
This is a spectacular layered dip to serve out of a glass trifle dish or casserole. Goes together in minutes, and can be made ahead. It's great served either hot or at room temperature with warm tortilla chips (we like it with Tortilla Scoops) and an ice cold beer or margarita. Optional: Add strips of grilled carne asada or pollo asada and layer in a dish for a killer nachos supreme! Tip: I use recipe #117797 for the seasoning.

9-LAYER MEXICAN DIP
While many incarnations exist, I have tailored my recipe to meet my dietary needs (food allergies/migraines). This dip uses lower fat and natural ingredients and is vegetarian-friendly, too. Feel free to modify to suit your tastes. That's what cooking (or in this case layering) is all about!

Steps:
- In large mixing bowl, combine refried beans and salsa. Consistency should be that of cake frosting--spreadable but not thick. Adjust amount of salsa accordingly.
- Spread bean and salsa mixture onto serving platter. (I use the back of a metal serving spoon.).
- Layer remaining ingredients.
- Serve with Baked Tostitos Scoops Tortilla Chips.
- NOTES: Also great as a meal. Even my green-veggie-phobic children devour this dish! This recipe is moderately spicy. Change the heat of the salsa to adjust. You could also top with jalapenos or other hot peppers to add more heat. I sometimes use different greens (prepackaged salad mixes) instead of iceberg lettuce and use different cheeses (pepperjack kicks it up a few notches!).

MEXICAN 7 LAYER DIP
last year when we were asked to throw a party themed for Cinco de Mayo, I remembered a dip that my aunt had made one year and I remembered it as best I could and wrote it down, I have done it two ways now; once as a layered salad and once slightly warmed...both were the hit of the party!

Steps:
- 1. Place the re-fried beans and taco seasoning into a bowl and stir until combined. Using a 9" x 13" glass baking dish, spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish to create the base.
- 2. Layer all of the other ingredients evenly one at a time:order does not matter, but do finish off with the cheese, onion and olives on top. Place in the refrigerator over night so the flavors can blend together.
- 3. Notes: For a cold salad, place everything over a bed of lettuce in a round dish so that it can be scooped. For a warm dip omit the lettuce and place the layered dip onto a 250 degree oven right from the frig for about 10 minutes just enough to warn it...not melt it.
- 4. Tostitos Scoops work fantastic with this dip.

Steps:
- To make the bean layer, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the chorizo into the skillet and cook until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and then the liquid. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until the beans are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat. Smash the beans and the chorizo together in a coarse mash, adding additional liquid if necessary a tablespoon at a time so the mixture is not dry. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary with salt and pepper. Spread the bean mixture onto a large round serving plate. Chill while you prepare the next layers. To make the guacamole layer, combine the avocado flesh, lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro and salt in a bowl. Mash together with a fork until fairly smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Spread the guacamole layer over the bean layer on the serving plate. Continue to layer with the tomatillo salsa, queso fresco, red onion, and tomatoes. Combine the sour cream with the chipotle and lime juice and blend together with a small food processor or immersion blender. Drizzle over the top of the dip. Cover and chill until ready to serve.* *While many of the components could be made in advance (beans, tomatillo salsa, and chipotle sour cream), it is best to make the guacamole fresh and assemble the dip not too long before you plan to serve it.

I used more garnish in the picture than the recipe calls for because I LOVE black olives and green onions. Fritos works best with this dip because you can scoop them and this is a heavy dip.
