  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  • 34 black olives (for spider body and legs)

Instructions

  1. Select a shallow round serving dish (9–10 inches).
  2. Mix cream cheese, ¾ cup sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth. Spread evenly as base.
  3. Spread refried beans over cream cheese layer.
  4. Make guacamole: mash avocados, mix with lime juice, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Spread over beans.
  5. Layer salsa, then shredded cheese.
  6. Pipe sour cream in concentric circles over cheese, drag toothpick from center to edge to form spider web.

Notes

Use a glass pie dish for best presentation. Pipe sour cream thinly for a neat web design. Add toppings just before serving for freshness.
