Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: bell peppers

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Vinegar provides acidity at a lower cost.

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet.

Add finely cut onions, capsicum, and tomato; sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Add 1 cup cooked sweet corn kernels (previously cooked in microwave for 2 minutes) and strain excess water; sauté for a few minutes.

Prepare a white sauce by dissolving corn flour in cold milk; stir constantly until it reaches a sauce-like consistency.

Add 50 grams grated cheddar cheese to the white sauce and mix until melted; do not add salt as cheese is salty.

Combine the sautéed vegetables with the white sauce; add 1/2 tbsp red chili powder and salt to taste.

Toast the bread in the same skillet with a little butter until golden brown on both sides.

Cut the toasted bread into small pieces and arrange on a plate.

Pour the corn and white sauce mixture over the toasted bread.

Serve with ketchup if desired.
