  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground pork, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook until pork is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Spread tortilla chips on a large baking sheet. Top with cooked pork, corn, black beans, red onion, and jalapeño. Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Remove from oven and drizzle with sour cream. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

The roasted corn adds a sweet crunch that perfectly balances the spicy pork and creamy beans, making every bite a flavor explosion.

Tip: For an extra smoky flavor, char the corn in a dry skillet before adding it to the nachos.
