2 large refried beans
2 can jalapenos, or chilies
2 tomatoes, or more
1 onion, (optional)
16 oz sour cream
2 avacados
2 package taco seasoning
1 shredded cheese, (mozzarlla
1 olives
Directions
Recipe by: Rachel Hosford Spence --ALASKA
Mix the refried beans and taco seasoning together (I also mix the
chili's in with this, but some people put the chilis as a layer) Mix
this really well (I used a food processor, but today I am going to
use my mixer). This is the first layer.
Put a layer of sour cream on top of the refried beans, taco seasoning
and chilis.
Next put a layer of well mixed/mushed avacados (you need enough to
cover the pan, I use a cake pan normally) on top of everything else
Next sprinkle cheeses on top (I just thought about it and I put the
avacado first and then the sour cream, but I suppose it doesnt
matter). I think the more cheese the better myself *grin*!
Next cut up tomatoes and add as many as you like, which I like to use
at least 2 cut up tomatoes.
Last put chopped up olives.
Put in the oven until the cheese is melted. I use a low heat so that
everyt else warms up.
Last but not least pull out the chips and dip! Everyone really enjoys
this dip. I hope you do too.

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
