Super Bowl Party Dip

I am an avid NFL fan. As most of you could have guessed I am gearing up for what will be a very exciting game, and sharing the festivities with friends. For this, we need food....lots of it! So, here is an idea for a great nacho platter:

Ingredients

Nacho chips
1 can re fried beans
1 jar salsa
1 can adobo or smoked chilies
1 jar pitted black olives, sliced
1 avocado, chopped and sprinkled with lemon
shredded tex mex cheese
1 tomato chopped
lettuce, shredded
jalapeno peppers, sliced (if you like them, otherwise, leave out)
1 container sour cream

In a pan, over low-med heat, empty the contents of the jar of re-friend beans, and mix with a little water (1 cup or so), until it makes a dip-like consistency. Stir in the jar of smoked chillies (or adobo). Set it aside.

In an oven proof casserole dish place layer the following: Nacho chips, the bean mixture, salsa, and cheese. Place in a 350 degree F. oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is all melted. Take out of oven and sprinkle with tomato, lettuce, olives, and jalapeno pepper and avocado. Serve with sour cream. You can make as little or as much as you want! Easy and good - a real crowd pleaser!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone!
