Instructions
1.In a small bowl combine refried beans with salt, pepper and chili powder
2.In a second bowl mix together sour cream and salsa
3.In yet another bowl (I hope your not cleaning-up the kitchen) mash-up the avocado with lime juice, zest, garlic and a dash of salt - I like it still a bit chunky but mash as much as you like
4.In a square serving dish, or serving platter, spread out the refried beans
5.Next is the Avocado mixture...Yummy!!
6.Now comes the Sour Cream - it is getting so good
7.Now throw some cheese down, then the peppers and cilantro
8.I recommend that you refrigerate for at least a hour, but if you are anything like me that hour may only be 10 minutes...either way it is super yummy, especially with your own Homemade Chips
9.ENJOY!!

Notes
Each serving is 3 WW+ points

2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
