Easy Mexican Dip

Description: This dip is always a hit at parties. The kids like it too! It is a layered dip with tomatoes, lettuce, mexican flavoured sour cream and cheese. You can add a layer of refried beans down first if desired. Serve with corn chips. For a gluten free dip ensure the seasoning mix is gluten free or you can make your own using "Recipe#96014". If you like some extra heat use some cayenne pepper with the taco seasoning mix
