I first had this at a party about 10 years ago. That recipe was my inspiration for this healthier version. We like to make this for football games. My husband Christopher is a huge Cleveland Browns fan. They never really win, but he always roots for them. He dresses our pit-bull in a Brown's shirt during the games! Super cute. Reminder: this recipe doesn't belong in the superhero family, but it's loads better than what you usually find in party dips. When I was on The View recently, the ladies loved it. Bottom line - this dip is clean, dirty fun....

Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce can of refried beans
  • 3 large avocados
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 8-ounce containers non-dairy sour cream
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (I use Bearitos, but if you are avoiding all white sugar, make your own mix with chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, hot paprika or cayenne, and salt)
  • 1/2 cup diced mild green chiles, drained
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives, or more if you like
  • 5 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded vegan Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

  2. Spread a layer of refried beans in the bottom of an 8 inch by 8 inch quart glass baking dish. 

  3. Pit and peel the avocados, and place in a bowl. 

  4. Mash the avocados together with the lime juice, and spread on top of the refried beans.
  5. Stir together the sour cream and taco seasoning, and spread over the avocado.

  6. Sprinkle the chiles over the sour cream, and top with a layer of black olives.

  7. Add the tomatoes, and sprinkle with the cheese.

  8. Heat the dip for 15-30 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is a bit melted.

  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    I can't wait to try this. I love Mexican food and this is an awesome way to take to my friends house for a girls night! I'm slowly converting her to veganism!!!

    I can't wait to try this!! As Mexican food freak, I'm finding nachos and quesadillas the only treats I'm really sad to let go of as a new vegan... but this looks like it'll totally kick that craving when I need it!

    I made this and followed the recipe pretty much to a t, but unfortunately it turned out very runny. Anyone else have this problem?

    This recipe is awesome. I make my own refried black beans and use my homemade taco seasoning. It's always a hit at every gathering. For those who don't care for soy cheese, you might try other vegan cheeses like almond or rice cheese. They work very well in this recipe.

    I made this for a party in my classroom. It was a hit and everyone was very surprised when I told that it was vegan.

    I am a new vegan and having trouble with the soy cheese. I actually eliminated the cheese from this recipe and added shredded lettuce to the top; it was great, and I didn't struggle with the off taste, look and smell of the soy cheese. Thanks.

    YUMMY! We made it for dinner, and the next day we used the leftovers for burritos. We used "BOCA" crumbles with sautéed onions and used the dip on top! My 5 year old daughter LOVED it....My hubby, too!
