7 Layer Dip for the Fourth of July

This is a fun appetizer for a patriotic holiday and was found on "Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons" at
http://www.kitchenfunwithmy3sons.com/2014/07/7-layer-mexican-flag-dip-for-4th-of-july.html.

  

  1.  Mix 16 oz can of refried beans with one package of taco seasoning mix and spread over the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan. 
  2. Spread a jar of salsa over the bean mixture.
  3. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the salsa layer.
  4. Add a layer of shredded lettuce.
  5. Cover with a layer of Mexican shredded cheese.
  6. Mark off the upper left corner (where the blue stars would be) by outlining with paper towels. Add crushed blue chips in open square and remove paper towels.
  7. Mix 8 oz of softened cream cheese with 8 oz of sour cream to be used for piping 6 stripes across the length of the pan (yes, I only have 5 white stripes - misjudged and didn't leave enough room). There should be 7 rows of chopped tomatoes separating the 6 rows of white stripes. Start with one white stripe just below the blue "stars" and add two more stripes leaving the row at the bottom open for the chopped tomatoes. Pipe three more white rows at the top leaving the top row for the chopped tomatoes. Fill in between each of the white rows with chopped tomatoes.

Serve with Frito scoops or small round chips.
