Fiesta Day Platter
- 16 ounces spicy refried beans (they come in a 16 oz can and I usually use Rosarita Spicy)
- 3 avocados (large, ripe and mashed)
- 13 cup ranchero salsa (I use La Victoria Salsa Ranchero labeled "hot")
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 1 cup sour cream (that equals a 1/2 pint)
- 4 12 ounces black olives (which is 1 cup drained)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (finely grated)
- 1 cup lettuce (finely chopped)
- 1 cup tomatoes (finely chopped)
- You can layer a 9x13 inch glass cake pan, or do this on a round platter (just make sure the walls on the platter are high enough to hold the layers).
- Spread the beans on the bottom of the dish you've chosen.
- Peel and mash the avacados.
- Blend in the hot salsa ranchero and layer it over the beans.
- Sprinkle the chopped onion over the avocado mixture.
- Mix the black olives with the sour cream and spread it over the chopped onions.
- Sprinkle on the grated cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle the chopped lettuce on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes on the very top.
- Press everything down with a metal spatula, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours so the flavors will marry.
- Serve with a basket of tortilla chips.
