Ingredients
-
1 can (16 oz) refried beans (seasoned with taco spice, optional)
-
1 cup guacamole
-
1 cup chunky salsa (drained for less liquid)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
-
½ cup sour cream (for piping web – or Greek yogurt)
-
Tortilla chips, for serving
-
Optional Garnish: sliced black olives (spiders), plastic spiders for décor (remove before eating!)
Instructions
-
Foundation: Spread refried beans evenly in a shallow dish.
-
Layer Up: Spoon guacamole over beans, then carefully spread salsa on top.
-
Cheesy Blanket: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over salsa.
-
Weave the Web: Place sour cream in a zip-top bag, snip a tiny corner, and pipe 3–4 circles on top of cheese. Drag a toothpick from the center outward, alternating directions to form a spider web.
-
Creepy Crawlers: Place olive “spiders” on the web for a spooky finish.
-
Chill & Serve: Refrigerate 30 min to set, then serve with sturdy tortilla chips.
Notes

Use pepper jack cheese for extra kick.

Swap sour cream for ranch or cream cheese thinned with milk.

Make it vegan with plant-based cheese, beans, and sour cream.
-
Add buffalo chicken instead of salsa for a fiery twist.
