The Dish 
The iconic layer dip gets a makeover. Our version boosts the veggies and replaces the refried beans with a healthier black bean spread. Portioning the dip into mason jars makes this a great packed snack as well as giving greater control over the serving size. 

Many of the components can be prepped ahead of time, including the black bean spread, avocado spread, and seasoned sour cream. When you’re ready to assemble, simply fill your jars. 

Vegan and vegetarian modifications can easily be plugged in. Substitute vegan sour cream or cream cheese for the traditional sour cream. Use a vegan cheese or vegan shredded cheese for the cheddar.
