How to Make Aztec Pyramid Avocado Dip

  1. **Layer 1: Avocado Base:** Mash 2 ripe avocados in a medium bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until well combined. Spread evenly in a shallow serving dish, reaching the edges.
  2. **Layer 2: Creamy Cheese Layer:** In a separate bowl, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning until well blended. Spread this mixture evenly over the avocado layer.
  3. **Layer 3: Cheesy Goodness:** Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer.
  4. **Layer 4: Tomato Burst:** Evenly distribute 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes over the cheddar cheese.
  5. **Layer 5: Green Onion Freshness:** Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped green onions over the tomatoes.
  6. **Layer 6: Olive Crown:** Top with 1/4 cup sliced black olives.
  7. **Chill & Serve:** For best results, chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature with your favorite dippers.
  8. **Suggested Dippers:** Tortilla chips, bell pepper strips, jicama sticks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
