7-Layer Tex-Mex
Get one of those disposable square lasagna pans from the store
spread a layer of refried beans on the bottom of the pan
on top of the beans spread a layer of taco meat that has been browned and seasoned with a package of taco seasoning
spread a layer of shredded cheese (I think the Mexican blend you buy at the store is best)
Bake the dish as is for 20 minutes at 350 - this step is optional and many people do not do it since the cheese will melt and then harden as time passes. As long as you brown the meat thoroughly everything else can be served cold and it tastes good. The pre-made stuff from the grocery store is always cold
After you bake it (or just skip to this step if you don't bake it) spread a layer of guacamole on top of the cheese layer
Spread a layer of sour cream on top of the guacamole.
Sprinkle on another layer of cheese.
Sprinkle tomatoes (diced finely) over the top of the dish.
The seventh layer is adding some diced olives to the tomato layer. [Michael's note: I don't do this, but some people like it.]
[Michael's note: We take this to tailgates in Texas all the time and it holds up to the heat. Obviously it is best to keep it on the top of a cooler or otherwise refrigerate the dish until you are ready to put it out.]
