- 2.25 ounces Black olives (sliced)

Instructions
- Prepare the bean mixture: In a bowl, combine the refried beans and taco seasoning. Stir until smooth to evenly distribute the seasoning throughout.
- Layer the beans: Spread the seasoned refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 13-inch by 9-inch casserole dish to form the first layer.
- Add the guacamole layer: Carefully spread the guacamole over the refried beans, creating the second layer.
- Spread the sour cream: Evenly spread the sour cream on top of the guacamole, making sure to cover the surface completely.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sour cream layer to add creamy, cheesy goodness.
- Top with fresh tomatoes: Spread the diced tomatoes evenly over the cheese layer for freshness and color.
- Garnish with olives and green onions: Sprinkle the sliced black olives and finely chopped green onions over the top as the final decorative layer.
- Chill before serving: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly before serving.
Notes
- For best flavor, prepare the dip a few hours ahead or even the day before.
- Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping.
- Optional: add jalapeños or hot sauce to the bean layer for extra spice.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days for freshness.
