Instructions:
- Beans – Mix 1 can (15 oz) vegetarian refried beans with 1 tsp taco seasoning if using. Spread into an 8×8-inch dish or shallow platter.
- Guacamole – Mash 2 ripe avocados with 1 tbsp lime juice and salt to taste. Spread over the bean layer.

Notes:
- Soak cashews for 4 hours or boil for 10 minutes for the smoothest cashew sour cream.
- Drain the salsa if watery to prevent the layers from becoming soggy.
Storage:
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Best assembled the day of serving.
Swaps:
- Replace cashew sour cream with store-bought vegan sour cream for a shortcut.
- Swap refried beans for black beans or pinto beans.
Tips:
- Spread each layer all the way to the edges of the dish for a tidy, layered presentation.
- Add the toppings right before serving to keep lettuce crisp and tomatoes fresh.
