Three-layer Bean Dip

This is an excellent dip. Though I don't often make layered anything, I find myself making this recipe roughly once a year, just in time for the Super Bowl that I don't even watch.

This dip is best served hot using sturdy corn chips. It's even vegetarian if you purchase the right kind of refried beans.

Ingredients:

• 2 12-oz cans of refried beans
• 4 oz cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• Sour cream
• 1 packet taco spices
• 1 small can green chilis

Directions:

1. Mix all of the refried beans with the packet of taco spices. (You may want to warm the beans up a bit to make this easier.)
2. In a 9" x 13" baking pan, spread out the refried beans mixture.
3. Mix about 4 oz of sour cream with the can of green chilis, and then spread it over the refried beans.
4. Place the sliced olives on top of the sour cream.
5. Shred the cheese and cover the remaining surface.
6. Cook in a 350 deg F oven for about 35 - 40 minutes.
