I’ve done a lot of dips in my day, especially around this time of year. This might be the easiest, simplest one yet. Thanks to the magic of canned refried beans, this deliciously addictive dip involves little more than just mixing and serving. Sure, there’s a little bit of chopping involved—but other than a few minutes of simple knife-work, the recipe is dead simple and very fast, which means more time for drinking and snacking.
I don’t often hype recipes up by comparing their taste and texture to cold leftovers, but I’m going to now. If you serve this dip with crispy corn tortillas (and you really should), the eating experience is very similar to leftover bean and cheese nachos. Nachos are obviously great hot, but cold (straight from the fridge, in the middle of the night) they are otherworldly. And, just like nachos, there are lots of different things you can add to this dip. But whether you customize it to your tastes, or make it as shown, I really do hope you give it a try! Enjoy!

Chef's Note:
If making the day before, do not add garlic, onions, and cilantro until 1 to 2 hours before serving; otherwise the flavors might overpower the dip.
