1 can (6 ounces) black olives, sliced
02 -
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 avocado, cubed after peeling

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Chill and serve cold next to lots of salsa, crunchy tortilla chips, or just grab some crisp veggies and dip right in.
02 -
Right before eating, toss on the avocado cubes. Cover it up and stash in your fridge until showtime—or any time within 6 hours.
03 -
Sprinkle over the cheddar cheese, then pop on tomato chunks, lay down olive slices, and finish with green onion bits.
04 -
Spread out the lettuce over everything so it looks super fresh.
05 -
In a bowl, stir together the ranch mix with the sour cream or yogurt until smooth. Slather all over your bean base.
06 -
Grab a 9 x 13 baking dish and smooth refried beans along the bottom for your first layer.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
To keep the avocado looking fresh, wait to add it until serving so it doesn't turn brown.
