Ingredients
  

1 package of mini corn tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (you can use fresh or canned)

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

1/2 cup guacamole (for topping)

1/2 cup sour cream (for dipping)

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Tortilla Cups: Take the mini corn tortillas and lightly brush or spray both sides with olive oil to ensure they crisp up nicely. Using a muffin tin, gently press each tortilla into the cups to create a bowl shape, forming the base for your nacho bites.

      Layer the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and taco seasoning. Mix everything well to evenly distribute the seasoning. Carefully fill each tortilla cup with this mixture, ensuring to fill them about halfway.

        Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filled tortilla cups, ensuring that the cheese covers the toppings. This will not only enhance flavor but also help to bind the ingredients when melted.

          Bake to Crispy Perfection: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Watch for the cheese to become melty and bubbly, while the tortillas turn golden and crispy.

            Garnish and Serve: After baking, carefully remove the nacho bites from the oven. Allow them to cool for a minute before gently taking them out of the muffin tin. Arrange the nacho bites on a serving platter and add a generous dollop of guacamole on each. Serve with a small bowl of sour cream alongside, and if you like, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a burst of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Dig into these delightful mini nacho bites and savor the explosion of flavors and textures they bring!
