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 ripe avocado, diced

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ teaspoon ground 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 mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, rinsed black beans, quartered cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, diced avocado, sliced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix everything gently but thoroughly until well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.

    Assemble the Bowls: Take small serving bowls or muffin tins for a fun presentation. Start by layering a generous amount of crushed tortilla chips at the bottom of each bowl. Next, add a heaping scoop of the sweet corn mixture on top of the tortilla chips, ensuring each bowl has plenty of colorful toppings.

      Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the corn and bean mixture in each bowl, making sure all portions are well covered for that delicious gooeyness.

        Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the assembled nacho bowls on a baking sheet for easy handling. Bake them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, creating a delightful golden crust.

          Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the bowls cool for a couple of minutes. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top of each nacho bowl if you like. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve lime wedges on the side for a zesty touch when squeezing over your nachos.

            Enjoy: Indulge in your delicious Mini Sweet Corn Nacho Bowls while they’re still warm. Savor the explosion of flavors and textures with every bite!
