Seven-Layer Dip

This is one of my husband's favorite things I make- a really easy dip. Go figure.

Seven-Layer Dip
1- 16 oz. can refried beans
1-1.5 cup scallions or chives, chopped
2 cups guacamole
1 can black olives, sliced
1- 16 oz. container sour cream
2-3 roma tomatoes, diced
1.5-2 cups Cheddar cheese
1 whole big bag of tortilla chips :)

1. Spread the can of beans on the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
2. Sprinkle scallions/chives evenly over beans
3. Spread guacamole over scallions/chives.
4. Sprinkle olives over guacamole.
5. Spread sour cream over olives.
6. Sprinkle tomatoes over sour cream.
7. Top with cheese.

This was a 6-layer dip (sans tomatoes), but you get the idea. :)
