NATHAN"S SUPER SECRET LOW-FAT SPACE BEAN DIP

Get yourself a casserole pan or some such big, flat container.
Layer 1: 1 large can of refried beans (they are already 99% fat free).
Layer 2: Approx. 1 1/2 cups salsa (canned or jar) mixed with 2 soft, ripe avocados. Mush your avocados first, it will be easier to mix.
Layer 3: Mix a package of TACO SEASONING into a medium container of low fat sour cream.
Layer 4: 4 tomatoes, diced.
Layer 5: One small can of diced green chiles. NOT JALAPENOS!! TRUST ME!!
Layer 6: One small can of diced black olives.
Layer 8: SHREDDED cheese - I use the bag of pre-shredded, four Mexican cheeses.

DON'T FORGET, BROWNCOATS:

This is a hearty dip that requires a sturdy tortilla chip, and will have you "repeating" the next day. Don't say I didn't warn you!

BTW - Shhhh - Don't tell anyone, its a big secret, but appearantly Alan "accidentally" took a big dish of Nathan's bean dip and some chips from Nathan's house prior to heading to the Con. Nathan called during Alan's time slot looking for the dip, at which time no one admitted to having seen the dip. The bean dip was auctioned of for KNTR, I think, after Alan grew frustrated with it not answering any of the questions that he and the crowd asked the dip. The dip got even though, by the sounds of it - it had an "accident" in the chair.

It was originally in Lex Luthor's old Firefly site but that isn't around anymore or at least not that I could find. I found it at the old board site (forums.prospero.com) by going to advanced search and typing in "bean dip" as it was also published there. So much history in such a short lived TV show..... I think the original typo (missing layer 7) is Nathan's.

In the upper left hand corner you have 2 options. Post New or Advanced Search. I then specified a time frame (updated from) of "beginning of time" since I think the recipe was around 2003 or 4. Then I typed in "bean dip" and it pulled up several threads and I hunted through them till I found it. Almost got lost in the appetizers thread for awhile and now have an urge to make rollups. I hope this helps.
