Triple-Decker Tortilla
Ingredients
  • Nonfat cooking spray
  • 1
    cup canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2
    tablespoons bottled sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)
  • 1
    cup salsa
  • 4
    6 ounces corn tortillas
  • 1/2
    cup frozen whole-kernel corn
  • 1/2
    cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2
    avocado, seeded, peeled, and chopped
  • 1
    tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.

2. Mash the beans; stir in jalapeno peppers, if desired. In a skillet cook and stir the beans over medium heat for 2 minutes; set aside.

3. Spoon 1/4 cup of the salsa into bottom of the pie plate. Layer in order, 1 tortilla, half of the warm beans, another tortilla, the corn, half of the cheese, 1/4 cup more salsa, the third tortilla, remaining beans, remaining tortilla, and salsa. Cover with foil. Bake 12 minutes. (Or, cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap; micro-cook on high power for 4 minutes, giving a half-turn once.) Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 3 minutes more (or micro-cook 30 seconds more). Sprinkle with avocado and cilantro. Makes 4 main-dish servings.
