# What You'll Need:

01 - 12 round tortilla chips, scoop-style or similar

02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

03 - 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

04 - 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

05 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

06 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives

07 - 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

10 - 1/4 cup sour cream

11 - Salsa or guacamole for serving (optional)

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange tortilla chips in a mini muffin tin, forming cup shapes with one chip per cup.

02 - Sprinkle both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly into each chip cup.

03 - Add black beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, jalapeño slices if using, and red onion on top of the cheese in each cup.

04 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

05 - Remove from oven and cool for a couple of minutes. Top each cup with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

06 - Serve warm with salsa or guacamole on the side if desired.

01 -

Each cup is a perfect bite-sized portion so no double-dipping concerns
The cheese gets all melty and contained in the chip instead of sliding off onto the pan
You can customize toppings for each cup if youre feeding picky eaters

02 -

Work quickly once these come out of the oven or the cheese starts to set and the toppings become harder to distribute
Overfilling the cups seems tempting but leads to toppings spilling onto the pan during baking

03 -

Warm your tortilla chips in the oven for 3 minutes before filling them so they get extra crispy
Mix the two cheeses together before sprinkling to ensure even distribution in each cup
