Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to a cozy 375 degrees Fahrenheit, kind of like warming a room before good friends arrive.
2. Take a large tin foil tray and spread out a generous layer of those crunchy tortilla chips as the foundation of your culinary masterpiece.
3. Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips; this is the glue that holds the joy together.
4. Carefully distribute all of the black beans, chopped tomato, red onion, jalapeño slices, black olives, and sweet corn over the cheese. If you’ve opted for some heartier fare, add your cooked chicken or beef atop the vegetables.
5. Shower the remaining cheese over everything, like the first gentle snowfall blanketing the ground.
6. Season with a touch of salt and pepper to taste. Remember, the best dishes are like life itself – a balance of flavors.
