Love this!!! Made this for a casual movie night dinner for the family and they loved it. I added a pound of ground turkey on top of the bean layer and used plain non-fat greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. Can't wait to make this again!!!

I made this for our dip contest at work, and it was a big hit! I won first place and the coveted Golden Spoon award! my son said it was the 'bomb'... for the taco seasoning i used the hot and spicy.. gave it just the right amount of kick! have made it a couple more times since, and will make again!

I took the advice and used a Spicy Taco seasoning instead of the regular and it made a huge difference in the punch of flavor.
