Simon Food Favourites: Simple & tasty recipe: Mexican 'One Dip ...

A dip that's sure to please

I was inspired to make this dish when I tried it at a friend's birthday/housewarming party which was hugely popular. The flavours work really well together, it's very easy to make and quite cheap. I think it works best served in a very shallow dish or use a pizza container which I used making it easy to store in a fridge and transport to another venue. The key to successful is making sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the area of the dish so when you dip a corn chip through the mix it will pick up a bit of all the different ingredients. Spreading a thin layer of each ingredients is how this is best achieved. It probably doesn't matter which order you spread the ingredients but I found starting with the thicker ingredients on the bottom seemed to be the best way. Being a vegetarian dish makes it a crowd pleaser for everyone and I'm sure even the meat lovers will appreciate the tasty flavours in this dip.

Recipe (4-6 people)

1st layer: Refried beans (1 can, 435g)

2nd layer: Sour cream (1 pot, 300g)

3rd layer: Salsa dip (1 jar, 300g) ? Hot version works well

4th layer: Guacamole (1 pack, 200g) ? order make yourself

5th layer:?Deseeded and finely chopped?tomatoe (4)

6th layer: Sliced Kalamata Olives (1 jar, 200g)

7th layer: Shredded tasty cheese (about 100-200g, couple of handfuls)

8th layer: Thinly sliced spring onions (5 stems)

9th layer: Couple of handfuls of finely chopped coriander

Serve with your favourite corn chips. Round shaped seems to work the best for dipping.?The container I used was 27 x 27 x 3 cm which worked perfectly for above quantities.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS:?Tasty, Quick and easy to make, Can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge, Cheap to make, People can serve themselves, Vegetarian friendly

CONS:?You'll run out if you don't make enough because it'll be very popular. I've met some people that don't like coriander

MUST TRY:?Adding chopped up jalape?o for an extra heat kick

VERDICT:?It's very quick and easy to make when made with mostly pre-prepared ingredients. The combination of flavours works really well together and the olives are especially good.
