List of Ingredients

◦ 4 tablespoons safflower oil
◦ 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped onion (from 1 medium onion)
◦ 4 cloves garlic, minced
◦ 2 cans (15 ½ ounces each) pinto beans, drained, liquid reserved
◦ 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
◦ ½ teaspoon coarse salt
◦ 2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
◦ 1 to 2 pickled jalapeño chiles, minced
◦ 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream
◦ 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
◦ 3 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated (1 cup)
◦ 6 scallions, thinly sliced
◦ 6 ounces pitted black olives, chopped

Recipe

Heat oil in a large pan. Add 1 cup onion and the garlic, and cook over low heat until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans, and cook for 3 minutes. Roughly mash with the back of a spoon, adding reserved liquid as needed to attain desired consistency.

Mix tomatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons onion and the salt.
Mash avocados with jalapeños, 2 tablespoons sour cream, and the lemon juice.

Spread ½ inch mashed beans into bottom of each jar. Top with 2 tablespoons Cheddar, 1 tablespoon scallions, ¼ cup tomato mixture, 3 tablespoons avocado mixture, 2 tablespoons sour cream, then 2 ½ tablespoons olives. (Alternatively, layer all ingredients in a large bowl.)
Serve with chips.
