Best 7 layer Bean Dip

At Thanksgiving, Justin's aunt made this awesome 7 layer bean dip. I crave it everyday now. I forgot to get the recipe from her, so I decided to look it up and found this on grouprecipes.com . It's amazing and I had to share it. ENJOY!

Ingredients
  • 2 cans jalapeno-flavored bean dip ( we have made it with a can of jalepeno flavored refried beans and it was just as good)
  • 3 avocados
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 package Shilling taco seasoning mix
  • 3 or 4 finely diced plum tomatoes ( justin's aunt used grape tomatoes)
  • 2 cups sliced black olives
  • 1 or 2 bunches sliced green onions
  • 2 pounds shredded cheese (suggestion: mix jack and Cheddar together)
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped.

Directions
  1. Mix together sour cream, taco seasoning mix and mayonnaise. Set aside.
  2. Mash and mix avocados with lemon juice ( to taste- approximately juice of one lemon), salt and pepper.
  3. In a 13x9 glass casserole dish, layer as follows: bean dip, avocado mixture, sour cream mixture, tomatoes, onions, olives
  4. and grated cheese.
  5. Garnish with cilantro and serve with tortilla chips.
