I tried a new recipe today – it was actually really good:
Mexican Bean and Tortilla Pie
| POINTS® Value: 3 Servings: 6Preparation Time: 18 min Cooking Time: 35 min Level of Difficulty: Easy Course: main meals |
Store leftovers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. |
Ingredients
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 1 cup canned tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
- 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 serving Low fat/high fiber tortillas
- 14 oz canned black beans, drained, rinsed and mashed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine tomato sauce, salsa, cilantro, chili powder and cumin in a small bowl.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many tortillas as will fit in one layer. Cook about 1 minute, turning once, until lightly toasted. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Spoon 1/4 cup of tomato sauce mixture over bottom of a 10-inch pie plate or other round, shallow baking dish. Top with a tortilla and 1/4 cup more sauce. Spread with 1/2 cup of mashed beans; top with 2 tablespoons of green chilies and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 3 more layers and then top with remaining tortilla, sauce and cheese.
Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until heated through and sauce bubbles around edges, about 5 minutes more. Cut into 6 wedges and serve. Yields 1 wedge per serving.
AJ’s notes: I changed this from the WW website – I only had a reg sized can of black beans (should have used 2 regular sized cans) and I took out the chopped canned green chilies – I don’t like them. I also used these GREAT tortillas (of course- no picture – they are the olive oil whole grain rye wraps) that are only one point each (90 cal; 3gr fat; 13 grams protein, yep 13!!)- so that lowered the pt count to 3 instead of 4. The way the recipe appears above is how I made it.
