1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinse & drain
1 (4 ounce) can chopped black olives, drain
1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
1 -2 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed recommended)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, fine ground
1/8-1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened & stirred well
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 green onions, sliced
tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

In small bowl with sealing lid, combine all ingredients except cream cheese, egg & green onion. Cover & refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Before serving, on medium (8-10 inch) platter (I use a round one) spread cream cheese out into large round circle.
Carefully spread marinated bean mixture over cream cheese, also in a circle, but leaving about 1/2 inch ring of cream cheese showing around the outer edge.
Arrange chopped egg on top of bean mixture in a ring around the outer 2/3 of the beans, this time leave a circle of area in the center uncovered.
Sprinkle green onion in center of the egg ring.
Serve with tortilla chips or strips.
