How to Make Mexican 9 Layer Dip

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic during the last minute of browning.
  2. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Stir in 1/2 envelope (1/2 ounce) taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Spread the cooled seasoned beef evenly in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Spread this guacamole layer over the beef.
  6. In another small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise with the remaining 1/2 envelope of taco seasoning. Spread this mixture over the guacamole.
  7. Layer the remaining ingredients in this order: 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup sliced black olives, and finally, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
