Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

6 ounces good-quality tortilla chips

preferably low-fat

1 cup canned black beans -- drained and rinsed

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels -- thawed

Salsa -- as desired

1 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack or cheddar cheese

 

6 Servings

 

This is terrific as an appetizer, snack or accompaniment to a simple grain

dish. I like using stone-ground tortilla chips, which are generally

available from natural foods stores and specialty markets. But do explore

the varieties available in supermarkets as well. Look for all-natural

ingredients and read the nutrition labels, as they vary greatly in fat

content. Not more than 3 grams of fat per 1-ounce serving is ideal. Baked

tortilla chips can be a good choice as well.

 

1. To microwave, spread the chips out in a single layer on a large

platter, or divide among two plates. Sprinkle the remaining ingredients

evenly over the chips. Microwave each batch until the cheese is bubbly, 1

to 2 minutes, and serve at once.

 

2. To bake, preheat the oven to 400F. Spread the chips out in a single

layer on a baking sheet (line with foil if desired). Sprinkle the

remaining ingredients evenly over the chips. Bake until the cheese is

bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes, and serve.
