This dip is so delicious and great to take to a Mexican party or any party where you need something quick and tasty. By the end of the night the dip looks like a dirty mess the colour of refried beans but it is demolished so quickly it doesn’t matter.
It looks really cool if you serve it in a glass dish so you can see all the layers. Make sure you use a nice deep dish so it all fits!
