2 cans of organic refried beans. I usually buy a kind that has some jalepenos or other flavorful peppers in it for more yumminess.
2 cups sour cream-- pastured is best, but if not, at least find sour cream with only cream listed in the ingredients
1/4 cup homemade taco seasoning or more to your taste – be sure and check it before adding more. If you don't have any made up, just use 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 3/4 teaspoon sea salt. (Find spices that aren't irradiated here.)
3/4 cup guacamole, optional
Any veggies you'd like: chopped tomatoes, green/red/orange peppers, black olives, or green onions, & jalapeños for a nice bite! (Or sometimes to save time, I'll just use salsa!)
About a cup of your favorite shredded cheese
Organic nacho chips, to avoid the nasty GMO corn for dippers

You can use a cookie sheet, or use a large pizza pan like I did. (I love my stainless steel bakeware!) You could also use 2-9×13's but you may need more sour cream. Mix sour cream with seasonings and spread over the bean layer. Sprinkle with cheese and optional veggies of your choice. Serve with organic nacho chips.

Start with a layer of cream cheese on the bottom. Then you can keep the sour cream layer or omit, it's good either way. If you omit it, you may want to mix a little taco seasoning in with your beans before spreading them on top of the cream cheese.
Try a guacamole layer and make it into a layered guacamole dip, yum!
Add a salsa layer on top. :)
