I made this for dinner last night. Fairly quick and easy (especially since I used canned tomatoes and canned corn). It came out delicious. This probably has 4-6 servings. If you wanted to make more, you could probably add another can of beans and some cooked rice. Cheap and healthy too.
1 c chopped onions
1 T olive oil
1 c chopped tomatoes OR 1 can diced tomatoes drained
1 1/2 c fresh or frozen corn OR 1 can whole kernel corn drained
15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 T fresh lime juice
1 t salt (optional)
1/2 t ground black pepper
2 c rinsed, stemmed, and chopped Swiss chard or spinach*
2 c crushed baked tortilla chips
8 oz (or so) grated fat-free sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 c salsa
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Saute onions in oil until translucent.
3. Stir in the tomatoes, corn, black beans, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Saute for 5 – 10 mins. or until heated through.
4. Prepare your casserole dish (I used a 9″ round deep casserole dish) with a coating of cooking spray.
5. Spread half of the chips on the bottom. Spoon sauteed veggies over the chips. If you used canned vegetables, there will be quite a bit of liquid left in the pan. Don’t pour it all in or your meal will come out soggy. Sprinkle 2/3 of the cheese over that. Arrange the greens over the cheese and spoon half of the salsa on top of it. Then, sprinkle the rest of the chips, salsa, and cheese.
6. Bake for about 35 – 40 mins, or until it is beginning to brown.
Oh and my confession–I didn’t actually measure anything, I just eyeballed it. But then I never measure anything when I am cooking–baking is a whole nother story
