Layered right in a 9x13 dish, this party classic starts with a well-seasoned bean base built on cumin and chili powder, then gets a creamy, tangy layer studded with garlic and onion powder. Freshly mashed avocado with bright lime juice comes next, followed by a generous spoonful of fresh salsa spread edge to edge. Briny black olives and a scatter of sliced green onions finish things off with color and crunch in every bite. A short chill in the fridge sets the layers so each scoop shows off that gorgeous striped cross-section. It's a crowd-pleasing, make-ahead dip that fits neatly into a vegan spread, served alongside a big bowl of crunchy tortilla chips for scooping.

Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, stir together the refried beans, cumin, chili powder, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined. Spread the seasoned beans in an even layer across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish or large shallow serving dish.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the bean layer, leaving a thin border so the layers stay visible from the side.
