a layered supper...

good for lunch or supper

even for breakfast with some scrambled eggs inside a tortilla this is a very easy dish, and would be great to bring to your next gathering at your friend's house

avocados are in season right now and so delicious, and was my inspiration for this layered dip

appropriately named "supper" because we have this on very hot days

it is nothing fancy, but on a hot day, it is more than enough






bean & avocado layered supper

and then all you need is to start layering....like this....
refried beans (you can use store bought of course)
one avocado mashed + 2 T. of sour cream mixed together
grated cheese (I used cheddar)
2 spring onions finely chopped
drizzle lime juice (optional)
finely diced tomatoes
some finely chopped cilantro and parsley

serve with organic corn chips (or tortillas for a heartier meal)
shred some more cheese on top of dish


we have been experimenting with cooking over an open flame outdoors
and am so stoked to share those recipes and photographs with you

have a beautiful weekend

xo+fired up blessings,

  1. This look super fresh ans super good!!
    I can't find good avocados here...what could I use in their place? Maybe nothing.....all the other ingredients would work well together anyway, wouldn't they?

    I CAN'T WAIT for the open fire post...really can't!"!!!

    A peaceful weekend to you and your family.

  3. I have been eating this exact same thing...only on a bed of lettuce! I am working on some health-related goals and have currently cut out breads/pastas/rice/etc. So looking forward to when I can begin to gradually add in foods from the bread family! In the meantime, we're eating lots of lean red meat/chicken/fish and all the fruits and veggies our hearts desire...pun intended! I've been using avocado and salsa in place of salad dressing...but I never thought of mashing my avocado with some sour cream! YUM! I know what's for lunch today! Now...just waiting for my first tomatoes of the season to ripen. Lots of friends around KC are just now getting their first blush! Soon, my friend, soon! Then, homemade salsa! I've got a few peppers sprouting too! (Sorry so long...I've become a bit passionate about healthy eating...thanks in part to you!)
