What is it that makes a bean dip so enticing? Is it the smooth texture? Maybe the spicy kick. Everyone's got their own opinion on what makes a dip great. I value the health in my food, which influences my ingredient choices majorly.
For this bean dip I will be using some unhealthy ingredients, because why the hell not. I cook what I want!This is an excellent dish for a small gathering of friends or family. Tangy, simple, and slightly spicy, depending how creative you are with it. You can pretty much put whatever you want in it, but I keep mine relatively simple.
One could easily drink any alcoholic beverage with this meal, but I'm downing some whiskey. Personally I'm going for some Evan Williams Honey, while my plastered assistants are enjoying some Peach Benchmark No.8. This is a meal to be shared, much like alcohol is, so sharpen your friend making skills and enjoy the company.

Step 2
Layer out the black beans on top of the refried. You can mix if you like, but I prefer to layer them. Place the bowl in a preheated 350° oven for 15 min to let the beans cook.

Pull those beans out of the oven and add your black olives, green olives, or both if you're crazy like me.

Next layer is the mozzarella. I bought some prepackaged shaved stuff, which I never recommend. Go get some mozzarella balls and experience Italy in your kitchen for anti-Christ's sake.

On top of that cheesy goodness add the liquid queso. I buy the spiced one to add some kick, but for even more sprinkle that cayenne onto it.
Step 5
Throw it back in the oven for another few minutes, until the cheese is nice and melted.
