Equipment

  • 9 x 13-inch rectangular dish

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream, divided (See Tip 1)
  • 1 ounce package Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 ½ cups grape tomatoes, sliced in half, lengthwise
  • 16 ounce can fat-free refried beans
  • 16 ounce container guacamole
  • 16 ounce jar salsa, drained
  • 1 ¼ cups (5 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (See Tip 2)
  • ½ cup crushed blue tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Combine 1 ¾ cups of sour cream with taco seasoning mix. Reserve remaining ¼ cup of sour cream for later use.
  • Slice grape tomatoes in half, lengthwise.
  • Spread refried beans on bottom of 9 x 13-inch dish. Top with guacamole, drained salsa and sour cream mixed with taco seasoning mix.
  • Mark an area at the top left of the sour cream layer approximately 5 ¼-inches by 4 ½-inches. This area is for the star layer.
  • Place a single layer of sliced grape tomatoes, lengthwise at the long-end of the bottom of dish. Place a second layer approximately 1 ½-inches from the first layer. Place the third and fourth layer of sliced tomatoes up to the area marked off for the star layer, each 1 ½-inches apart.
  • Place shredded Monterey Jack cheese between the tomato layers for the white stripes.
  • In the top left area that was marked off, sprinkle on crushed blue tortilla chips. Place remaining ¼ cup of sour cream in piping bag fitted with 1M star tip. Pipe white stars on the crushed blue tortilla chips. (See Tips 3 and 4)
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with tri-colored tortilla chips. (See Tip 5)
  • Yield: 12 servings.

Notes

  1. I used low-fat sour cream.
  2. You could also use Mozzarella cheese, white Cheddar cheese of other white cheese of your choice.
  3. If the sour cream seems a bit runny, thicken it with about 1 ½ teaspoons of corn starch. You want the stars to hold their shape.
  4. You could also use a smaller star tip.
  5. If you're unable to find tri-colored tortilla chips, use regular tortilla chips.
