Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 cup frozen corn
  • 3/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 3 corn tortillas (6 inches)
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, saute zucchini and pepper in oil until pepper is crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the corn, beans, salt and cumin; saute 2-3 minutes longer. Stir in salsa and cilantro.
  2. Place a tortilla in the bottom of a 1-1/2-qt. round baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spread with 2/3 cup vegetable mixture; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers twice.
  3. Bake, uncovered, until heated through and cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with sour cream.
