Stir in: 1½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste. 6 ounces of tomato paste 1 teaspoon oregano 1 clove garlic minced Spread evenly on bottom of a 9" X 13" glass baking dish. Chill until firm (about 2 hours) Spread the remaining 6 layers evenly across the preceding layer. The quantities are flexible. If you like more or less of a layer ingredient, adjust the quantity to your taste: 12 ounces sour cream About 1 ½ - 2 cups of your favorite salsa or 1 ½ cups chopped fresh ripe tomato and ½ cup finely chopped onion plus ¼ cup finely chopped jalapeno peppers (chopped cilantro is optional) 12 – 16 ounces guacamole or chopped avocado sprinkled with lemon juice 1 ½ - 2 cups shredded medium or sharp cheddar cheese ¾ cup chopped or sliced black olives ½ - ¾ cup sliced fresh chives or green onion stems Keep refrigerated until served.
