Description
A stunning, crowd-pleasing salad featuring seven delicious layers of Tex-Mex flavors including seasoned beef, beans, and fresh veggies.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
1 can (16 oz) refried beans
1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.

Step 3: In a large glass bowl or 9x13 dish, spread the refried beans in an even layer at the bottom.
Step 4: Add the seasoned ground beef as the second layer, followed by a layer of sour cream.
Step 5: Carefully spread the guacamole over the sour cream, followed by the salsa.
Step 6: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the salsa layer.
Step 7: Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
To keep the lettuce extra crisp, add it just before serving. You can also add crushed tortilla chips as a crunchier eighth layer!
