Recipe Information
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

Instructions
Wash the cucumbers and pat them dry. Slice each cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a serving platter.
Rinse and drain the black beans, and set them aside in a small bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. If they're particularly large, quarter them instead. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this over the cucumber slices for added zest.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cucumber slice.
Add a few black beans and corn kernels onto each cheesy cucumber slice.
Top each slice with a small piece of cherry tomato. If using jalapeños, add a thin slice on top for extra heat.
Spoon small dollops of sour cream and guacamole onto the nacho cucumbers, alternating or combining as desired.
Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
