Layer 2 = Guacamole (see my recipe below). Mix an mash my guac and spread it on top of the refried beans.

Layer 3 = Seasoned sour cream (see below).  Fold the 16 oz. of sour cream together with 1 package of taco seasoning.  Spread the sour cream on top of the guacamole.

Layer 4 = Chopped sweet Vidalia onions or scallions, whichever you like best!  Layer the hand chopped onions, a thin layer, on top of the sour cream.

Guacamole Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, small to medium
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

Using a knife, cut into the avocado lengthwise and cut around it through to the pit in the center.  

Once you've cut around the entire avocado, twist it and separate the two sides.  

Remove the pit.  

Scoop out the ripe avocado and mash it up.  

Mince the garlic.

Chop the fresh cilantro, you can simply cut it with a knife or use specific herb cutters.

Add the minced garlic, the chopped cilantro, the lime juice, the onion powder, sea salt and white pepper to the avocados.  Mash, stir and serve.
