Layered Mexican Bean Dip Recipe

The thing I like about the Weight Watcher program is that I get to eat real food. Then how does one lose weight, all in portion size and control. So as I am searching for fresh meal ideas, I came across another one of my favorite year-round snacks. I like to prepare this when I don't know what to make for dinner or I'm bored of eating what I have in the fridge. It doesn't take too long to fix and it is oh so good!

Ingredients:

16 oz fat-free canned refried beans
3 medium avocado, Hass, finely mashed
1/4 tsp table salt
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup(s) reduced-fat sour cream
2 Tbsp Old El Paso Fajita Seasoning Mix, or other brand
1/2 cup(s) Weight Watchers Reduced Fat Shredded Mexican-Style Cheese
1 small tomato(es), chopped
2 medium scallion(s), sliced
10 medium olive(s), black, sliced or chopped
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped

Instructions:

Spread beans evenly over bottom of a 9- X 13-inch glass baking dish or a medium-size glass bowl.

In a small bowl, combine avocado, salt and lemon juice. Spread avocado mixture over beans; top with sour cream.

Sprinkle fajita seasoning over sour cream layer. Next, layer remaining ingredients on top in order listed.

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables or baked tortilla chips for dipping, or chill until ready to use. Yields about 1/4 cup of dip per serving.

Prep. Time: 18 minutes
Serves: 16
Weight Watcher Point Value: 2 per serving
