This dish is pretty filling… another one that we often eat as a meal.  It’s a great meal for a movie or for watching a game!

Tiajuana Taco Dip

1 – 16 oz. can refried beans

1 c. salsa

1 tsp. red hot sauce

1 lg. tomato, chopped

3/4 c. mont. jack cheese, grated

1/2 lb. ground beef

2 tsp. chili powder

1 cup black olives, sliced

1 c. grated Cheddar cheese

1 c. sour cream

Garnishes – chopped green onions, black olives, tomatoes,

Tortilla chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together refried beans, salsa (3TBPS) and 1/2 tsp. hot sauce.  Spread this in 1.5 quart casserole dish.  Top with chopped tomatoes and mont. jack cheese. 

Cook beef with the chili powder; drain fat.  Stir in the remaining salsa, hot sauce, and the olives.  Spread this over mont. jack cheese in dish.  Sprinkle evenly with the cheddar cheese. 

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until heated through. 

Spread sour cream over top (or serve separately).  Garnish as desired. 

Serve with tortilla chips.

I have made this dish without the tomatoes if I don’t have any on hand – it still turns out tasting great!  Also, for our family, I don’t serve it with sour cream since we aren’t huge fans.
