Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained

1 cup tortilla chips, crushed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained

½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 avocado, diced

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 lime, juiced

Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping (optional)

Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the sweet corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, diced avocado, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Assemble the Bowls: Take small serving bowls or muffin tins for a fun shape, and layer crushed tortilla chips at the bottom. Build the base with a generous scoop of the sweet corn mixture on top.

      Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the corn and bean mixture in each bowl, ensuring it's well-covered.

        Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled nacho bowls on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top each mini nacho bowl with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired and a sprinkle of extra cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
