Southwestern Black Bean & Chard Casserole

Recipe from the Wyllie Fox Farm Kitchen

1 cup chopped onions
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 ½ cup corn kernels
1 ½ cup cooked black beans
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
½ tsp lemon pepper, lime pepper or black pepper
2 cups rinsed, stemmed & chopped swiss chard or spinach
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
8 oz cheddar cheese
2 cups Mexican red salsa

Preheat oven to 350°.  Sauté the onions in the oil for about 8 minutes, until translucent.  Stir in the tomatoes, corn, black beans, lime juice, salt & pepper and continue to sauté for8-10 minutes, until heated through.

Meanwhile, in another saucepan, blanch the greens in boiling water until just wilted.  Drain & set aside.

Lightly oil an 8x8 casserole dish.  Spread half the crushed tortilla chips on the bottom.  Spoon the sautéed vegetables over the tortilla chips and sprinkle about 2/3 of the grated cheese on top.  Arrange the greens evenly over the cheese and spoon on half the salsa.  Add the remaining tortilla chips, then top with the remaining salsa & cheese. 

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling & beginning to brown. 

Serves 4-6
