Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning: 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (drained)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the sour cream until smooth. Add the taco seasoning and stir until well combined.
- Assemble the Layers:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a shallow serving dish or pie plate.
- Top with the guacamole, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Add the Toppings:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the guacamole layer.
- Add a layer of shredded lettuce on top, followed by the diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions.
- Optional Salsa Layer:
- If you like, drizzle some salsa over the top of the dip, but this is optional as the dip is already packed with flavor.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
