Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a food processor, combine the black beans, cream cheese, sour cream, pickled jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Top the bean mixture with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it in an even layer across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, or vegetable sticks.
