Knights are sure to clamor for this mythical monster. Refried beans are spread into a dragon shape and sprinkled with tempting toppings. Tortilla chip scales line its back while red pepper flames blaze from its mouth. Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans |
2 tablespoons taco seasoning |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes |
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives |
1 cup guacamole |
2 cups torn lettuce |
1 whole ripe olive |
dragon dippers or purchased tortilla chips |
1/2 medium sweet red pepper |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the beans and taco seasoning. Cut a large hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; fill with bean mixture. Trace a dragon shape (about 16 in. x 10 in.) onto waxed paper (see diagram below); cut out. Place pattern on an 18-in. x 12-in. covered board. Pipe bean mixture around pattern. Remove pattern. Pipe remaining bean mixture within dragon outline; spread to fill.
2. Set aside 1 tablespoon sour cream. Spread remaining sour cream over bean mixture. Top with cheese, tomatoes, olives, guacamole and lettuce. For the eye, spoon reserved sour cream onto head; top with the olive.
3. Place Dragon Dippers along back and top of head. With a sharp knife, cut red pepper into a flame shape (see diagram); position below mouth. Serve with additional dippers. Yield: 6-8 servings.
