# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine refried beans with ground cumin and chili powder in a medium bowl, mixing until well incorporated. Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch serving dish.
02 - Blend sour cream, softened cream cheese, fresh lime juice, and salt in a separate bowl until smooth and uniform. Spread this mixture carefully over the bean layer, ensuring even coverage.
03 - Combine chunky salsa, diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro in another bowl. Drain any excess liquid, then spoon the salsa mixture evenly over the creamy layer.
04 - Distribute shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa layer. Top with sliced black olives, diced green bell pepper, and sliced green onions, spreading them evenly across the surface.
05 - Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and layers to set. Present with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks.
