For the Cheese Base

  • 2 medium Jalapenos adjust amount to spice preference
  • 1 can Black Beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Corn frozen or canned, drained if canned
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers any color
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro for garnish
For the Coating
  • 2 cups Tortilla Chips crushed

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by finely chopping the jalapeños, bell peppers, and fresh cilantro. If using canned black beans and corn, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cool water.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes of vigorous mixing. Add in the chopped jalapeños, bell peppers, cilantro, black beans, and corn. Stir everything together until well blended.
  3. Prepare a large piece of plastic wrap on your countertop. Spoon the mixture onto the center and shape it into a log form while using the wrap to mold it tightly.
  4. Carefully roll the log in crushed tortilla chips, ensuring every side is covered. Transfer the coated log back onto a plate.
  5. Wrap the cheese log tightly in plastic wrap once more and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Unwrap the log and place it on a serving platter. Slice into even rounds and serve with extra tortilla chips or fresh veggies.
