Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 450 g) smooth refried beans
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz / 28 g) taco seasoning or homemade blend (paprika, cumin, chili powder)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (150 g) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) chopped green onions
  • 1 cup (30 g) shredded fresh lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, sliced thinly

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Open the can of refried beans and spread evenly in a 9×13-inch dish about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Carefully spread the seasoned sour cream and mayonnaise mixture over the beans evenly.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the creamy layer.
  5. Arrange the sliced strawberries in two horizontal stripes at the top and bottom edges for the red stripes of the flag.
  6. Place a neat rectangle of blueberries in the top left corner for the blue field.
  7. Fill the remaining spaces with shredded lettuce for the white stripes, then sprinkle diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions evenly over the rest.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and layers set.
  9. Serve chilled or slightly below room temperature with sturdy tortilla chips.

Notes

[‘If refried beans are too thick to spread, stir in a tablespoon of water or salsa.’, ‘Pat tomatoes and berries dry to prevent sogginess and color bleeding.’, ‘Use room temperature sour cream and mayonnaise for smoother spreading.’, ‘Chill dip for at least 1 hour; longer chilling improves flavor melding.’, ‘For a neat flag design, place berries gently and keep layers chilled.’, ‘Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter option.’, ‘Swap strawberries with cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers when berries are out of season.’, ‘Add jalapeños or hot sauce to creamy layer for a spicy kick.’, ‘Use gluten-free chips for a gluten-free version.’, ‘For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or vegan mayo instead of sour cream and mayonnaise.’]
