Mexican Layer Dip

This is a lower fat alternative to regular 7 layer dip... just take go easy on it. 

Ingredients:
8 oz 1/3 less fat Philadelphia cream cheese
8 oz reduced fat sour cream
16 oz jar mild salsa
1 packet taco seasoning
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese (make sure it is not dusted with flour)
2.25 oz black olives
8 oz refried beans (I prefer black, just throw them in a blender first and pulse)

Directions:
Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning until smooth with an electric mixer.  Spread the beans on the bottom of a glass casserole dish.  Next layer in the cream cheese mixture.  Then add the lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes, and olives.  Serve with low fat or baked tortilla chips.
*You can also add another layer of guacamole... but keep in mind it will raise the points a bit.
