  4. Layer the remaining ingredients in the following order: 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), 1/2 cup chopped ripe olives, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 cup finely chopped iceberg lettuce, 1/2 cup black olives (sliced), and your choice of fresh toppings.
  5. Serve immediately with baked tostitos scoops tortilla chips.
  6. For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or other hot peppers on top of the dip or into the refried bean mixture.
  7. Feel free to substitute ingredients to suit your taste and dietary needs. For example, try different types of lettuce or cheese. Experiment and find your perfect combination!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
