The bean dip should be consumed on a tortilla chip with a bit of the salsa. You can eat it by itself or maybe mixed with the rice. I like to order one of the dishes that comes with the rice and beans on the side of the plate (instead of being in the enchilada/burrito). Then I douse them in the salsa, mix it up and eat it with the tortilla chips.
