Ingredients

2 8 oz cream cheese
2 tbsps taco seasoning divided
1 can refried beans
1 8 ounce canned diced green chiles
1 cup jarred salsa
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
¼ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup sliced scallions (optional)

Instructions

Preheat over to 375℉

Place cream cheese in a bowl and cover with a paper towel before microwaving for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is soft enough to spread. Sprinkle with ½ of the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
Place refried beans in a medium-sized bowl, and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until beans are easy to stir. Mix in the remaining taco seasoning.
In a 7x10" pan, spread an even layer of cream cheese, then top with an even layer of refried bean mixture.
Drain diced green chiles and spread over the refried beans, then pour the salsa and spread evenly.
Sprinkle with the shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend and top with olives.
Cover loosely with foil, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the shredded cheese is completely melted. Serve your Mexican refried bean dip with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes

- Mixing the taco seasoning into both the cream cheese and beans ensures that they provide both creaminess and flavor!
- You can top the bean dip with some freshly chopped scallions after it's done baking for a pop of color.
- Other layers can be added to your Mexican Bean Dip including ground beef, sour cream, and scallions.

- Guacamole, pickled jalapeños, and chorizo beans are also great additions.

- If you can handle extra spicy food, add a final layer of my hot chili sauce.

- Store leftover bean dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
