Using the zip top bag, add a layer of sour cream and spread evenly. Following the sour cream, add a layer of chopped cilantro. Cover the cilantro with the crumbled toasted corn. Following the toasted corn, add a layer of crumbled cotija or jack cheese. For the final layer, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the cheese and finish with a grating of fresh lime zest for flavor and color. Serve alongside warm tortilla chips.
