Guilt-Free, Healthy Seven-Layer Bean Dip

• From: The Picky Eater

Ingredients

• 1 15-oz can of refried black beans, made with all-natural ingredients with no oil, sugar, etc. added (instead of the processed refried beans usually used)

• 2 Mashed avocados (instead of avocado "dip")

• 2 Tbs lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 8 oz Greek yogurt

• 1 tsp taco seasoning

• 1 bunch green onions

• 1/4 cup low-fat Mexican Cheese blend

• 3-4 roma tomatoes, diced

A few easy swaps and you’ll get a dip that’s full of flavor, but healthy enough to be a one-dish meal.

Directions

• Warm up refried beans in a small pot over medium heat. Add in taco seasoning to taste. Once all combined, set aside to cool.
• Peel, pit, mash avocados in a small bowl – add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and stir to combine.
• Combine yogurt and taco seasoning mix in another bowl.
• Cut corn tortillas into eighths and spread on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray, season with salt, and broil at 350° on low until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
• To assemble:Spread refried beans on a large, shallow serving platter.
• Spread avocado mixture over bean dip.
• Spread yogurt mixture over bean dip.
• Sprinkle with green onions and tomatoes.
• Cover with grated low-fat Mexican cheese.
• Serve with homemade corn chips!
