Method

  1. Spread a layer of guacamole evenly on the bottom of a round serving dish.

  2. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of sour cream with taco seasoning. Spread this mixture evenly over the guacamole layer.

  3. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sour cream layer, then pour salsa over the cheese, ensuring complete coverage.

  4. Warm refried beans in a microwave-safe container until softened. Spread the beans over the salsa layer, leaving about 1 inch of salsa visible around the dish's edge.

  5. Transfer the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Use this to create a spiderweb pattern on top of the bean layer.

  6. To make a spider, cut a large black olive in half lengthwise to serve as the body. Cut four sliced olives in half to create eight legs. Arrange these pieces on top of the web.

  7. Arrange the remaining sliced black olives and chopped green onions around the edge of the dip.
