Ingredients

2 tsp (10 ml) canola oil

1 cup (250 ml) cooked pinto beans

¼ cup (60 ml) yellow onion, diced

4 cloves of garlic, minced and divided

¼ tsp (1 ml) chili powder

¼ cup (60 ml) low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

1 12oz (341 ml) can corn, drained well

½ cup (125 ml) cilantro, chopped, divided

½ tsp (2.5 ml) cumin

½ tsp (2.5 ml) smoked paprika

2 limes

2 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped

¼ cup (60 ml) red onion, finely chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup (250 ml) guacamole

1 cup (250 ml) sour cream

1 cup (250 ml) shredded cheddar cheese

3 green onions, thinly sliced

Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, beans, onion, and half the garlic; cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. 
  2. Add ¼ tsp chili powder and stir to combine, before adding the broth. Simmer over low heat for 8-10 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by half. Mash the beans with a potato masher or a fork. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the corn, ¼ cup cilantro, cumin, and smoked paprika; squeeze one of the limes over the mixture; toss to coat.
  4. To make the salsa, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, remaining garlic, and cilantro in another small bowl. Squeeze the juice of the other lime into the bowl, add salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
  5. Distribute the guacamole between the cups, followed by the sour cream, bean mixture, cheese, corn mixture, and salsa; top each cup with green onion. Serve with tortilla chips.
