Ingredients
Scale
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 (16 ounce) can nacho cheese sauce
1 (4 ounce) can chopped black olives, drained
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sliced black olives for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix refried beans with 1/4 cup of the sour cream and the taco seasoning. Spread evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch serving dish.
Layer the nacho cheese sauce over the refried beans.
Spread the remaining sour cream evenly over the nacho cheese layer.
To create the spider web, place the remaining sour cream in a piping bag with a small round tip. Pipe concentric circles onto the sour cream layer, starting from the center and working outwards.
Drag a toothpick or skewer from the center of the circles to the outer edge to create the spider web effect.
Sprinkle the diced green chilies and shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced black olives to create spider shapes.
Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
For a make-ahead option, prepare the dip up to the sour cream layer and refrigerate. Add the spider web and garnishes just before serving.
To prevent a watery dip, use thick sour cream and drain any excess liquid from canned ingredients.
A 10-inch round or 8×8 inch square dish works well for this recipe.
For olive spiders, use two olive slices for the body and four olive slices for the legs.
