- 1 cup Refried beans
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare all ingredients ahead of time: warm the refried beans and ground beef, chop the tomatoes and cilantro, and gather all toppings.
Step 2
2. Place four individual serving cups on your workspace. These can be plastic, paper, or glass cups, depending on your preference.

Step 4
4. Add a spoonful of refried beans and a spoonful of seasoned ground beef on top of the chips in each cup.
