Spidey Dip (7 layer dip)

Ingredients:

1 (16 oz) can refried black beans

1 (1 1/4 oz) envelope taco seasoning

1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies, drained (or jalapeños if you like it hot)

1 cup salsa

1 cup sour cream

1 cup guacamole

1 1/2 cup shredded cheese

2 green onions, sliced

2 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup chopped fresh tomato

Couple large bags of tortilla chips

Instructions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the refried beans and taco seasoning.
2. On a large festive Halloween tray , spread the beans in an even circular shape. Leave room around the edges for the garnish.
3. Sprinkle green chilies over. Smooth salsa over. Smooth guacamole over.
4. Place your sour cream in the end of a ziploc bag. Cut the corner off. Squeeze sour cream on top of guacamole in several concentric circles (or octagon shapes for a more authentic look). Using a knife or the handle of a fork, run lines lightly through the sour cream to make the web shape.
5. Sprinkle lettuce in a circle around bean dip. Sprinkle tomatoes and green onions over. Sprinkle cheese over.
6. Garnish with a creepy spider and serve with lots of tortilla chips.

Easy Guacamole Recipe
Ingredients:


2 largeish avocados

1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 of a small white onion, finely minced

1 small ripe tomato, peeled and diced

1/4 tsp. hot sauce

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Peel and mash your avocados. To make chunky guacamole, chop avocados into cubes and mash them very slightly with a fork. You can mash them more if you like.
2. In a serving bowl, combing avocado, lemon, onion, tomato, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Don’t go overboard on any of the ingredients– if you have good avocados, that’s where most of the flavor should come from.
3. Serve. If you let it sit, it may get a bit brown– will still taste great.
