First, toss together your tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Then whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions, lime juice, chili powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

In a tall flat-bottom glass bowl, start to layer and sprinkle half the corn bread in the trifle dish. Next, top with half of the black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, and pepper mixture. Then half of the sour cream mixture and cheese.

Repeat the layers with remaining ingredients and top it off with cheese. At last, cover salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
