I've actually made this Million Layer Dip on multiple occasions and everyone always raves about it. I love putting the dip together because it's easy! One secret-ish ingredient that no one ever guesses is the special sour cream blend...I mix the sour cream with taco seasoning with a fun pop of flavor. I wouldn't leave this out because it really adds to the traditional type of layer dip recipe!

- Prep all of the ingredients and make sure everything is ready to be put together.
- Using a baking dish or serving platter, spread the refried beans across the bottom in an even layer.
- In a small bowl combine the sour cream and taco seasoning. Spread this over the top of the refried beans.
- Next spread the layer of salsa over the top. In layers add the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, colby jack cheese, cotija cheese, green onion, and cilantro (reserving a small amount of each ingredient).

YES! The great thing about this easy dip recipe is that you can tailor it the way you like it! Adding other ingredients such as avocado, black beans, pico de gallo or onions would all be great!

Can black beans be substituted for refried beans? Do beans need to be heated if it’s just going to be refrigerated?
Allyson
You could definitely use black beans as a substitute! I always heat the beans because it's very hard to spread them when they are cold!
Brenda
That makes sense. Thanks! I’m going to make it for girls day at the pool!
Emily
Can you make it the night before, or is it best to make the same day you serve it?
Allyson
Love making it the night before! Makes it even more flavorful!
