Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream (for bandages)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
  • 2 black olives, sliced into rounds
  • 2 small dollops sour cream (for eyes)
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
  2. Drain and rinse black beans. Mash them in a large bowl with a potato masher or fork until chunky.
  3. Add softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the mashed beans. Stir until well combined.
  4. Spread the bean mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup sour cream with a pinch of salt. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe horizontal stripes across the top of the dip, leaving gaps for the eyes.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and remaining cheddar cheese over the top, focusing on the gaps between sour cream stripes.
  7. Place two small dollops of sour cream for the eyes and top each with a black olive slice.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for a browner top.
  9. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving with tortilla chips.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese. The dip can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and baked straight from the fridge, adding 5-7 minutes to the bake time. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
