Ingredients

• 2 large cucumber
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup black beans
• 0.5 cup corn kernels (cooked)
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 small jalapeño (optional, thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup guacamole
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 medium lime
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers and pat them dry. Slice each cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the black beans, and set them aside in a small bowl.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes. If they're particularly large, quarter them instead. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this over the cucumber slices for added zest.

Step 5

Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cucumber slice.

Step 6

Add a few black beans and corn kernels onto each cheesy cucumber slice.

Step 7

Top each slice with a small piece of cherry tomato. If using jalapeños, add a thin slice on top for extra heat.

Step 8

Spoon small dollops of sour cream and guacamole onto the nacho cucumbers, alternating or combining as desired.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
