Dairy Free 6 Layer Taco Dip

Just like tacos, only without the fats of dairy and the carbs of tortillas. Full of fiber and protein!
A quiche dish works best but any pie plate or small casserole works too!

1 can fat free refried beans
1 can black beans - drained and rinsed
1 lb lean beef - cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning and red pepper flakes
2 cups of your favorite salsa
1 can black olives - chopped
Guacamole - i use 2 large avocados and season with lemon juice, salt, pepper, onion & chili powder

Spicy extras: sliced pickled jalapenos, chopped fresh cilantro and hot sauce
