This is a great appetizer for Christmas parties. The Mexican-inspired layers look great and taste even better. Serve it with tortilla chips.

Made this for a carry in at work and everyone loved it. I was in a rush making it and forgot the avocado and cheese, but they still liked it. I couldn't find the red chile peppers so I left those out. Will make this again with the cheese and avocado. Very good!!!!!

This is a great recipe for football games. I leave out the sour cream because I don't like it and add guacamole as a substitute.
