"This is vegan??!?!" Taco Dip

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 can veg. refried beans OR 1 can kidney beans, drained
    1 container vegan sour cream (I use Tofutti brand), 12-16 oz.
    1 packet vegan taco seasoning mix
    1 cup black olives, chopped
    2 cups tomatoes, chopped
    1 avocado, chopped
    1/2 cup green onion, chopped
    veggie "meat" crumbles (optional)
    9" by 7" shallow tray (about 1" deep)

Directions:

Use a spatula to spread the refried beans out on the bottom of the tray evenly.  If you're using the kidney beans, they spread nicely as one layer.

Mix the vegan sour cream with the packet of taco seasoning (be sure to mix it thoroughly, the seasoning tends to stick to the sides).  Then spread it gently on top of the beans.

Chop up all of the delicious veggies and spread them on top.  This part of the recipe can be really tweaked, obviously, and is mostly to taste.  I tend to use tons of black olives and avocado.  If using meat crumbles, I recommend Yves brand, and mix that with a little taco seasoning before you spread it on top.

Chill for about an hour, though that's not really necessary and if you're really hungry, I recommend digging in.

My non-veg friends go CRAZY for this dip, and it's how I bribe them to come to veggie cookouts.  Just serve with tortilla chips and maybe some salsa on the side and you will forever be required to bring this to every party.  Enjoy!

Makes: 6+ servings, Preparation time: 10 minutes + chill time

This is really nice.  I used to make it with fat free refried black beans, that prepackaged guacamole, jarred salsa, sour cream, and cheese, because I make it for potlucks and get togethers and it was just easier.  But your recipe is much better- it has such a fresh and surprisingly light taste.  YUM.

Very good.  I layered the cream cheese and refried beans and some salse, then baked it in the over for 2o min till bubbly, added the veggies on top and served with carrot chips and slices of zuchinni. Supper yummy.

This was a big hit! Thumbs Up  I left out the olive (because I don't like them) and subbed a can of tomatillos instead, although fresh would have been even better.  My only concern was the saltiness of the taco seasoning.  It ended up blending pretty nicely but next time I might leave some out. I did use less sour cream than called for, so that may explain my salty experience.  My non-veg friends were all over this stuff, and it was super-easy to make.

Thank you sooo sooo much for this recipe. We absolutely loved it!!! It's like 6 layers (I didn't use olives) of absolute deliciousness... All the non-veggies loved it too (one even plopped the remainders in the bowl on her lap and just contentedly finished it off). Awesome recipe!!!

I made a version of this today.  I had forgotten how tasty this dish is.  I just eyeballed all of the amounts, making a small 5x7" dish (didn't want to make a ton, as we have only a 2-person household).  My 1st layer was canned refried beans.  My 2nd layer was simple guacamole (avocado mashed with lime juice).  My 3rd layer was Tofutti sour cream mixed with some Vegenaise, along with cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Cholula Mexican seasoning, and seasoned salt (had no packaged taco seasoning).  My 4th layer was diced tomatoes.  My 5th layer was sliced green onions.  My 6th layer was sliced black olives.  My 7th and final layer was a bit of shredded Cheezly mature white cheddar.  With some tortilla chips for dipping this makes a great, easy summer snack.

Made this for a potluck at work. It was a huge hit! EVERYONE loved it Smiley

I did a layer of refried beans, a layer of Tofutti Better than Sour Cream mixed with taco seasoning, a layer of Wholey Guacamole, Morningstar Veggie Crumbles, lettuce, tomatos, black olives, and green onion.

I even had someone tell me it was "orgasmic"!
