Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. Guacamole – Mash 2 ripe avocados with 1 tbsp lime juice and salt to taste. Spread over the bean layer.
  3. Cashew Sour Cream – Blend 1 cup soaked raw cashews, ½ cup water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, and ¼ tsp salt until completely smooth. Spread gently over the guacamole.
  4. Salsa – Spoon 1 cup drained salsa or pico de gallo over the cashew sour cream.
  5. Cheese – Sprinkle 1 cup shredded vegan cheddar evenly.
  6. Lettuce (optional) – Add 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce.
  7. Toppings – Finish with ½ cup chopped tomatoes, ¼ cup sliced black olives, 2 tbsp chopped green onions, and ⅓ cup fresh parsley.
  8. Chill and Serve – Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving with tortilla chips.

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.
