Spectacular Taco Dip

Ingredients:

• 3 med. ripe avocados

• 2 table spoons lemon juice                                                              

• ½ tsp. salt

• ¼ tsp. black pepper

• ½ cup sour cream

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix (I use McCormick)

• 2-10&1/2oz. cans bean dip or (jalapeno bean dip if you like it hotter)

• 1 cup green onions chopped with tops

• 2-3&1/2oz. cans ripe (black) olives chopped

• 3-large chopped tomatoes

• Optional: 3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (this is something I added to my sister's recipe to give a little more crunch)

• 1-8oz. pkg. cheddar cheese finely shredded

1. Peal and mash avocados in blender or processor until smooth, add lemon juice, salt and pepper.  

2. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise and taco mix in separate bowl. 

3. Spread bean dip on large shallow platter, top with avocado mixture, then sour cream mixture (3 layers). 

4. Sprinkle chopped onion and olives over mixture, then sprinkle about 3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce, then add the chopped tomatoes (If you like you can also add a few tablespoons of salsa for added flavor).  Cover with shredded cheese.  Serve chilled with tortilla chips of your choice. 

Outrageously Good!!  Enjoy!!
