Ingredients

• 1 head Iceberg lettuce
• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 can (15 oz) Sweet corn, drained
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup Tortilla chips, crushed
• 2 medium Avocados, diced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the iceberg lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and spread it evenly in the bottom of a large glass bowl or trifle dish for the first layer.

Step 2

Evenly spread the black beans as the second layer over the lettuce.

Step 3

Add the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the black beans, creating the third layer.

Step 4

Spread the sweet corn as the fourth layer over the cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the corn as the fifth layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the creamy layer to create the sixth layer.

Step 7

Top the salad with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, diced avocados (tossed with lime juice to prevent browning), and crushed tortilla chips as the seventh and final layer.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
