Frequently asked
Can I make it vegan?+
Yes — use vegan refried beans (check for lard), plant-based cheese, and skip the sour cream or use a cashew or coconut yogurt layer.
Can I assemble it ahead?+
Partly — the bean and guacamole layers can go in a few hours ahead; add the creamy, salsa, and fresh topping layers just before serving.
