  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small tomato, finely diced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans

Notes

Use a good quality spicy pork chorizo like La Costeña for authentic flavor. Fresh lime juice in guacamole keeps it vibrant. Chill dip at least 30 minutes for best flavor melding. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt. For vegetarian, replace chorizo with sautéed mushrooms or tempeh. Avoid layering too early to prevent sogginess.
