Marias 7 layer dip its real real good........................

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

• 16 ounces of refried beans
• 1 1/4 ounces of taco seasoning (the hotter the better)
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 8 ounces guacamole
• 1 cup shredded cheese (they make the Mexican blend for reasons like this, but you can do whatever you want. It's your cheese.)
• 1 cup salsa (once again, the hotter the better)
• 4 ounces of diced green chilies (can find these in a can)
• 1/3 cup sliced green onion
• A couple of big bags of tortilla chips

This is what you do. It's fool-proof, trust me:

1. In a bowl, combine the beans and taco seasoning. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of an 8-inch pan/serving dish.
2. Layer on top, evenly, in this order: Sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, chilies and finish with the green onions.
3. Eat with tortilla chips.
