Directions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk the Red Bell Ranch mix, sour cream, and milk together until smooth. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef for 3 to 4 min., breaking it up with a spoon.

3. 3

   Add the Taco Seasoning, drained diced tomatoes & green chiles, and diced green chiles. Cook for another 2 to 3 min., or until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess liquid.

4. 4

   Spread the seasoned beef across the bottom of a shallow serving dish and let it cool for a few minutes.

5. 5

   Spoon the ranch mixture over the top in an even layer.

6. 6

   Scatter the chopped lettuce evenly across the ranch, followed by the diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sliced olives. Makes about 11 servings.

7. 7

   Set out with a basket of tortilla chips for scooping. Lovely with a side of sliced avocado or quick-pickled jalapeños.
