This Fiesta Nine-Layer Delight is a vibrant, crowd-pleasing appetizer that's perfect for any get-together. With layers of creamy, spicy, and fresh ingredients, it's a guaranteed hit at your next party or casual gathering.
The base layer is refried black beans, providing a hearty and savory foundation. Next, the creamy guacamole adds a rich texture and a hint of freshness. The sour cream, mixed with taco seasoning, brings a tangy kick. Salsa offers a juicy burst of flavor, balancing the creaminess of the previous layers. The shredded cheddar cheese melts slightly when served, adding a delightful gooeyness. Chopped Romaine lettuce introduces a crisp, fresh crunch, while diced tomatoes add juiciness and a pop of color. Sliced black olives contribute a briny touch, and the final sprinkle of chopped green onions and cilantro adds a fragrant, herbaceous finish. Serve with tortilla chips for a satisfying crunch.
Pair this Fiesta Nine-Layer Delight with a refreshing margarita or a cold beer for a festive touch. It also works well alongside grilled meats or as part of a taco bar for a complete fiesta-themed meal.
Start by spreading the refried black beans evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch serving dish. Use a spatula to ensure it's a smooth, even layer. Next, layer the guacamole on top of the beans, smoothing it gently so it covers the entire surface. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the taco seasoning until well blended, then spread this mixture over the guacamole, ensuring even coverage.
Now, pour the salsa over the sour cream layer, using the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa, making sure every bite will have a bit of cheesy goodness. Next, scatter the chopped Romaine lettuce over the cheese, followed by a layer of diced tomatoes. Distribute the sliced black olives evenly across the top, then finish with a generous sprinkle of chopped green onions and cilantro for a fresh, flavorful finish.
