Recipe Introduction


I used to think a dish that looked as good as this does would take hours to make. This is so easy, it's almost embarrassing.
Makes 8 servings





List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup chopped onions
  
• 2 (14-1/2-ounce) cans Ready Cut tomatoes
  
• 3 ounces canned diced green chiles
  
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  
• 2-2/3 cups drained, canned pinto beans or kidney beans
  
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
  
• 1 teaspoon cumin
  
• 8 corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch wide strips
  
• 8 ounces (2 cups) shredded low-fat Chedder cheese
  
• 1 cup sour cream
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
   
2. In non-stick skillet coated with non-stick spray, saute onion about 4 minutes.
   
3. Add tomatoes, chiles, mushrooms, beans and chili powder and cumin. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes.
   
4. In 11-1/2 x 7-1/2-inch casserole, arrange 1/3 of the tortilla strips in single layer.
   
5. Set aside a little of the cheese for garnishing.
   
6. Pour 1/4 of the tomato mixture and 1/3 of the cheese over tortilla strips.
   
7. Repeat layers, ending with sour cream and last 1/4 cup of tomato mixture. Top with reserved cheese.
   
8. Bake 30 minutes.
   






Final Comments


NOTE: In case you're not familiar with canned green chiles, you should know that these are very mild and not anything to shy away from.
