Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 16 ounce can refried beans
• 16 ounces guacamole (homemade or store bought)
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mexican cheese blend)
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh)
• 1/2 small yellow onion (diced)
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• tortilla chips (for serving)

Method

1. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese with sour cream, mix until combined. Remove ¼ a cup of the mixture and set aside (or put it in a pipping bag, you will use this to make the spider web at the end). To the same mixture, add taco seasoning and mix until combined. Set aside.
2. To a pie dish, add a layer of refried beans. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
3. Then add the cream cheese taco mixture, and smooth out the top again.
4. Spread the guacamole carefully on top, and smooth out again. Then use a knife or a toothpick to create a patten for the spider web.
5. Use a piping bag to pipe out the reserved cream cheese mixture in a spider web pattern.
6. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the edges of the pie dish to create a circle, top with diced tomatoes, diced onion, sliced black olives, jalapeno, and cilantro.
7. To create a spider, use a whole olive (pitted or unpitted), and then add slices to add legs. Cover and chill under ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips.
