Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut)
  • 1 cup (150 g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup (150 g) corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1½ cups (150 g) shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • ¼ cup (40 g) finely chopped red onion
  • 1–2 jalapeños, sliced fresh or pickled
  • 2 tablespoons (8 g) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) chipotle powder or smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add black beans and corn kernels and sauté for about 5 minutes until warmed through and lightly golden.
  3. Season the mix with chipotle powder (or smoked paprika), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
  5. Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips evenly in an oven-safe dish or baking sheet.
  6. Spoon the black bean and corn mixture evenly over the chips.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend over the top.
  8. Scatter chopped red onion and sliced jalapeños over the cheese.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots.
  10. Remove from oven and garnish with additional fresh cilantro and dollop sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Layer toppings in stages for crispiness. Watch the oven closely to avoid burning the cheese. Lime juice brightens the flavors. For dairy-free options, use vegan cheese and coconut yogurt. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
