• In a large pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, and sweat for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the halved grape tomatoes, chicken stock and garlic and bring to a boil; cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the tomatoes have softened and the mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.

5 LAYER DIP - NON DAIRY

Steps:

• Brown the ground meat with the garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, drain, and put in the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Spread the refried beans on top and place in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together corn, mayonnaise and green chilies in a bowl. Remove the meat/beans from oven and spread the corn mixture on top of it.
• Mash the avocados and add the salsa making a guacamole (you can buy premade guacamole if you want but my personal preference is for fresh!). Spread on top of corn.
• Top with diced tomatoes. Refrigerate till ready to serve.
• This dip goes a lot further than you think it does so if you're not going to have 12-15 people eating it I recommend halving the recipe and putting it in a smaller dish. I have even it as much as two days later but the avocado gets yucky after that so I recommend only eating the leftovers the next day!
