Mexican Layered Dip

I’m always on the lookout for good tailgating ideas. This is an old recipe, one that I almost forgot about, but it’s perfect for tailgating or any party for that matter. All the layers go together perfectly with tortilla chips. You’ll be tempted to plunge your chip right in, but this dip is so dense your chips will break easily. It’s best to scoop out the dip and spread it on your chip. Have fun tailgating and GO VOLS!
