Maybe the guys are coming over to watch the big game or you are hosting the family's annual Barbeque and you need something to serve while the rest of the food is finishing.

16 oz. guacamole
1 packet taco seasoning
Chives
Cilantro

Instructions:
1. In large mixing bowl, combine salsa and beans. Spread in bottom of cake pan.
2. In small bowl, mix sour cream and taco seasoning. Spread over beans and salsa.
3. Spread guacamole over sour cream layer.
