- 1 pound ground beef

- 8 ounces sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded lettuce

Soften the refried beans. Add 1/3 cup water, milk, or salsa to the refried beans before warming them up. Microwave for 45-60 seconds. Stir well. (You can also heat on the stovetop in a medium sized pan on low heat, stirring occasionally.)

Make the cream cheese mixture. In a microwave safe bowl, add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 8 ounces of sour cream. Microwave for 15-25 seconds. Use a hand-held mixer to blend both cheeses together until light and creamy. Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Mix together. Set to side.
Dice and chop vegetables. Shred two cups of shredded lettuce. Dice two Roma tomatoes and drained them. This will prevent the dip from getting soggy. Dice one large white onion.

Spread a thin layer of refried beans followed by a thin layer of seasoned taco meat, seasoned cream cheese mixture shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
