This is not your usual layer dip, and by the time we had walked to our friend’s house, it wasn’t much off a layered dip. But no matter if the layers hold or not, this is a delicious dip! The yogurt ranch with homemade bean puree makes this Mexican inspired dip like nothing you have ever tasted. You can add more of less hot peppers depending on your desired level of spice!
