Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 35 min Servings: 8-10

 

15 ounce can La Preferida Organic Refried Black Beans + 1/4 cup water

16 ounce bottle La Preferida Avocado Tomatillo Salsa (Mild or Hot)

2 tablespoons La Preferida Organic Taco Seasoning

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt

1 cup queso fresco (or non-dairy alternative), cubed – reserve 1/2 for topping

1 cup kale – washed, dried, and finely chopped

1/3 cup sliced black olives, drained

1/2 cup La Preferida Organic Pico de Gallo 

Optional: 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Warm refried black beans in a large pan and add water to create a thinner consistency. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool (approx. 15 mins).

In a bowl, mix Avocado Tomatillo Salsa, Taco Seasoning, and Greek yogurt. Add kale and queso fresco and set aside.

Spread the cooled beans evenly into a dish or container for the first layer. Follow with Avocado dip for the next layer. Take ½ cup of queso fresco and place over ⅓ section of the dish. Pour Pico de gallo into the middle ⅓ section of the dish, followed by black olives on the last ⅓. It should resemble stripes of a flag.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes and add optional cilantro to garnish.

NOTE: Refried Beans should be cooked in a pan, not a pot, so they will cool down more quickly.
