ADDITIONAL GARNISH

Directions:
- To first layer, sauté onions in coconut oil. Add crumbled firm tofu or veggie ground until heated and then stir in seasoning and barbecue sauce. Set aside.
- Mix avocados, lime juice, 3 tbsp. sour cream or alternative and salt. Set aside. (Hint: sour cream will make guacamole more spreadable. If in a hurry, use your favourite packaged guacamole.)
- Mix sour cream and 2 tbsp. of milk or alternative and set aside.
- Assemble each layer, beginning with refried beans and ending with guacamole.
- To make the field lines, put sour cream in Ziploc bag and cut small hole in the corner. (Hint: to make sour cream easier to pipe, first mix with splash of milk or dairy alternative.)
