Instructions
Prepare the Dish
Select a clear glass trifle bowl or a large shallow dish so the beautiful layers are visible from the side. Spread the refried beans in an even layer across the bottom of the dish using the back of a spoon. The beans create a sturdy flavorful foundation for the layers above.
Add the Creamy Layers
Spread the sour cream evenly over the refried beans in a smooth even layer being careful not to disturb the bean layer beneath. Carefully spoon the guacamole over the sour cream and spread it gently to the edges. Work slowly to keep the layers distinct and clean.
Add the Toppings
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the guacamole layer covering it completely. Drain the pico de gallo well to prevent excess liquid from making the dip watery and spoon it over the cheese layer spreading it carefully and evenly.
Finish and Refrigerate
Scatter the sliced black olives over the pico de gallo as the final visible layer. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld. Serve cold with tortilla chips on the side.
