Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn kernels, tortilla chips and chopped vegetables to the mixing bowl, and toss to combine.
Southwest dressing:
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
- Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top of each serving.
Notes
- Add heat. Add jalapeños or red pepper flakes if you want a spicier version of this recipe. You can also add a tangy pickled component (e.g., pickled onions, pickled jalapenos, or even pickled avocados!)
- Add grilled veggies: Grill some of the vegetables like zucchini, corn, or mushrooms before adding them to the salad. Grilling enhances their natural flavors and adds a smoky depth to the dish.
- Add more protein: For a protein-rich option, add tofu (like this gochujang tofu) or consider a cooked quinoa base instead of mixed greens.
