1 can (16-ounces) refried beans

1 pkg. (1-ounce) taco seasoning mix

1 container (8-ounces) of vegan sour cream (optional)

1 small can chopped/sliced jalapeño peppers

1 small can diced black olives

1 cup pre-made salsa (any kind)

1 avocado (mashed)

1 cup grated vegan cheese (optional)

1/2 cup diced/chopped green onions (optional)

3/4 cup or more diced tomatoes (optional)


1. In a medium bowl, stir together the vegan sour cream and jalapeño peppers. Set aside.

2. Now heat the beans, stirring in taco seasoning until hot.

3. Spread bean mixture in a shallow serving dish about 1/2 inch thick.

4. Next, sprinkle the grated vegan cheese over the hot beans (this will help it melt).

5. Follow this by layering on the mashed avocado, tomatoes and salsa, then spooning on the vegan sour cream/jalapeño mix, and finally topping with olives and/or green onions. Additional avocado slices can be placed on top.

Serve immediately with tortilla chips and don't forget to ENJOY!
