Recipe: 5 Layer Mexican Fiesta Dip

5 Layer Mexican Fiesta Dip is delicious and nutritious with a good balance of carbs (from chips), protein (from beans), fresh veggies, and good fats (avocado). It makes an excellent snack or a tasty lunch.

Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- about 1/3 of a red onion
- juice of 1/2 of a lime
- 2-3 small/medium vine-ripened tomatoes
- several sprigs of cilantro
- 3-4 scallions (green onions)
- 1/2 can refried black beans
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- a tasty salsa (I used spicy)

Preparation:
This recipe requires you to create 5 distinct layers
1. Guacamole (bottom layer)
- Scoop out the avocado and mash it up (I used a citrus reamer to do this)
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
2. Refried Black Beans
- Take the beans out of the can and whip them with a spoon before adding them on top of the guacamole
3. Pico de Gallo
- Chop the tomatoes and remove the seeds
- Chop the cilantro and stir in to the tomatoes
- Chop the red onion and stir in to the tomatoes and cilantro
- Add the pico on top of the layer of beans
4. Salsa
- Put this on top of the pico
5. Chopped Scallions (top layer)
- Put these on top of the salsa

Serve with corn chips. Yum!
