Healthy seven-layer dip

Dave needs lots of protein and veggies this week in anticipation of his 8k run on Sunday. Because other days ended up being pretty meat-heavy, I chose a bean-based dish for tonight's dinner: seven-layer dip.

Usually seven-layer dips are full of lard-laden refried beans, sour cream, rice, and other Tex-Mex ingredients. However, this one consisted of the following layers, from bottom to top:

• Vegetarian refried beans
• Sauteed poblano peppers
• Smart Balance sour cream mixed with chili powder
• Pinto beans
• Homemade guacamole
• Natural cheese blend
• Chopped red onion
  

We put it in toasted whole wheat tortillas and also dipped in some good tortilla chips. Mmm! It was very good, and relatively guilt-free.
