Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional, for heat)

Juice of 1 lime

Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed black beans and corn. Stir them together until well mixed.

    Add Fresh Veggies: Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. If you're using jalapeño for some heat, add it in at this stage too.

      Mix the Dip: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with the taco seasoning and lime juice. Stir until smooth and well blended.

        Combine: Pour the yogurt mixture over the black bean and corn mixture. Carefully fold everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dip mixture.

          Cheese, Please: Add the shredded cheese on top, and gently mix to incorporate it into the dip. For an extra cheesy layer, you can also reserve some cheese to sprinkle on top before serving.

            Chill: Cover the dip and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Serve: Once chilled, give the dip a gentle stir, and transfer it to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional cilantro and reserved cheese on top for a pop of color.

                Enjoy: Serve with a generous side of tortilla chips for scooping. This dip is perfect for parties, game days, or as a tasty snack!
