Layered dip fits in comfortably at casual parties. We shared this variation Friday evening at the Pumpkin Potluck Party.

Layered Tortilla Dip

Here’s what you’ll need:

12-16 ounces refried beans

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 avocado, diced

1 sweet red pepper, chopped

3 scallions, finely chopped

16 ounces light sour cream
