lostdwarf's Nacho Nacho Man

Okay, lostdwarf definitely should win some award for best Hizzy recipes titles. And she confesses to being a garlic freak in this recipe, so I declare her my garlicky soul mate.

Bottom Layer (bean layer)
  • 1 cup canned low-fat refried beans
  • 1/3 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp salsa
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
Second Layer (guacamole layer)
  • 1/2 cup peeled and chopped avocado
  • 1/2 cup frozen green peas, cooked
  • 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped red onions
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • (I normally add more garlic and onions than is listed but I'm a garlic freak)
Third Layer (sour cream layer)
  • 1 cup low-fat sour cream (a thick brand - if you have a Safeway nearby, I've found their Lucerne or store non-fat version to be a good thickness)
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning (El Paso has a low salt version that's very good)

Fourth Layer (salsa layer)
1 cup salsa

Top Layer (cheese decoration)
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Combine all ingredients for bottom layer in a medium bowl, spread evenly over the bottom of a 9 in. pie plate.

Comine all guacamole ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse on and off until mixture is well blended but still slightly lumpy, Spread over bean mixture.

Combine sour cream and taco seasoning. Spoon over guacamole and spread evenly.

Pour salsa evenly over sour cream. Spread to sides of pie plate.

Sprinkle cheese over salsa and top with green onions. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. This is probably the favourite snack for any of my parties. If you can make it the night before, it's even better.
