6 Layer Mexican Dip With Taquitos

There are dozens, and probably hundreds of recipes for the famous 7 Layer Mexican Dip. And they are all pretty much the same, just each person adds or takes away ingredients as they please.  Mine is a 6 layer because I don't put olives on. I do, however, mix in something with the sour cream that I got from my mom - who by the way makes an 8 layer Mexican Dip.

This dip is traditionally a side dish, but I serve it for dinner because instead of serving it with chips, I serve it with beef taquitos! It's a great dish for when you need to throw something together fast, or you are just too tired to go all gourmet on your family.

**A 9x13 is way too big for my family, so I cut the recipe into 1/4th and layer it in this dish:
