FABULOUS WET BURRITOS

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Add onion, and cook until translucent. Drain grease, and season with garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in the green chilies and refried beans until well blended. Turn off heat, but keep warm.

SOMBRERO DIP II

Steps:

• Place in a serving bowl. Garnish with onions in the middle, olives in the middle, and cheese on the outside. If you'd like, you can add some diced avocados to the garnishes.
• Serve with tortilla chips.
