-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups shredded lettuce

15 ounces canned reduced-sodium black beans -- rinsed and

drained

1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper

2 tablespoons boded chopped red jalapeno peppers

OR canned diced green chili peppers

8 ounces fat-free dairy sour cream

8 ounces jarred chunky salsa

1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese -- (2 ounces)

2 tablespoons chopped pitted ripe olives

***HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS***

If you want a real crowd pleaser, seven layers of fresh, colorful Mexican

flavors will do the trick. When you have the time, make your own Iowfat chips

 

Line a 12-inch platter with the shredded lettuce. In a small bowl stir

together the black beans, green sweet pepper, and jalapeno peppers or green

chili peppers. Spoon over lettuce, leaving a lettuce border. Spoon sour

cream over bean mixture; gently spread in a smooth layer, leaving a border

of bean mixture.

 

Drain excess liquid from salsa. Spoon salsa over sour cream layer, leaving

a border of sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over salsa. Top with

olives. Serve immediately. (Or, cover and chill for up to 6 hours.) Serve

with Homemade Tortilla Chips. Makes 24 appetizer servings.

 

Homemade Tortilla Chips: Cut sixteen 7- to 8-inch flour tortillas into 6

wedges each. Arrange wedges in a single layer on ungreased baking
