Step 1
Start by spreading the refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the taco seasoning with the cream cheese until it’s smooth and well combined. Spread this creamy mixture over the layer of refried beans. Next, in another bowl, toss together the tomatoes, green onions, cubanella pepper, black beans, and navy beans. Spread this colorful mix on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover the dish and pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours to let all the flavors come together. When you’re ready, take it out and enjoy!
