Method

Layer in a glass bowl: beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa and chips. Optional: you may blend together sour cream and salsa, then carefully dollop around bowl, distributing evenly and spreading. Repeat until all ingredients are utilized, then add chips on top of last layer. Toss or stir each individual serving before eating, so that all flavors blend. This amount should make a nice large bowl with two layers of each ingredient, if layers are about an inch thick. Add ranch dressing, if desired.

 

Notes: This recipe can have ingredients added or removed to suit individual taste. Tweak as you wish.
