Recipe from the Wyllie Fox Farm Kitchen

Southwestern Black Bean & Chard Casserole
  • 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
