Step-by-Step Instructions for Spider Web Taco Dip
  1. Prepare the Bean Layer: Warm a 16-ounce can of refried beans on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread the seasoned beans evenly across the bottom of a glass pie plate.
  2. Make the Guacamole Layer: Mash one ripe avocado with the juice of half a lime, a pinch of salt, and garlic powder until creamy yet chunky. Spread the guacamole over the refried beans.
  3. Create the Web Design: In a squeeze bottle, combine 1/2 cup sour cream with enough milk to reach a smooth consistency. Squeeze the sour cream mixture into spiral circles and use a toothpick to draw lines for the spider web pattern.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle black olives, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, and green onions around the edges of the dip.
  5. Garnish: Place a plastic spider ring in the center of the dip for a festive touch.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Assemble the dip about 30 minutes before serving, and serve with warm tortilla chips or veggie sticks.
