Layered Black Bean Dip

Place the refried beans in a medium mixing bowl. Mix the beans with a wooden spoon until creamy and smooth. Spoon the beans onto a serving platter and smooth out evenly into a circle.

Peel and dice the avocado and place in a small mixing bowl. Add the lime juice and a big pinch of salt. Mash the avocado with the tines of a fork until fairly smooth and the lime juice is well incorporated. Spoon the avocado mixture over the beans and spread evenly.

Mix together the sour cream and the taco seasoning and spread this on top of the avocado.

Evenly sprinkle the tomato, cheese, and green onions over the top of the sour cream. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 3 hours before serving.

Serve with tortilla chips.
