Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1–2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Optional: jalapeño slices, chopped red onion, lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease.

- Spread refried beans evenly on the bottom of a large serving bowl or shallow dish.
- Layer seasoned beef over the beans.
- Spread sour cream across the beef layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the sour cream.
- Arrange diced avocado and tomatoes in neat rows or random clusters.
- Distribute sliced olives, green onions, and cilantro on top. Add optional jalapeño slices if you like extra heat.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.
Notes
- Swap beef for ground turkey, chicken, or a vegetarian option like black beans.
- Toss avocado in lime juice to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
- Customize with different toppings like pico de gallo, corn salsa, or crema.
- Make individual servings in jars or cups for parties.
- Use Greek yogurt as a lighter alternative to sour cream.
