    Recipe Introduction


    I don't cook low-fat, instead I use full-fat foods.

    List of Ingredients




    12 corn tortillas (6 inch diameter)
    2/3 c. low-fat plain yogurt
    1/3 c. low-fat cottage cheese
    3 scallions, thinly sliced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 TBS chili powder, or to taste
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    4 c. coarsely chopped tomatoes
    1 1/2 c. cooked pinto, or black beans, lightly mashed
    3/4 c. lowfat shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

    Black olives, sliced (optional)

    Recipe



    Coat a deep-fish, 9 inch pie plate with
    vegetable spray.

    Use 4 tortillas to cover the bottom of
    the plate, overlapping them in the center.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

    Blend together the yogurt and cottage cheese.

    Empty into small bowl and add scallions,
    garlic, chili powder and cumin.

    Spread 1/3 of this mixture over the tortillas.

    Top with 1 1/3 cups tomatoes and 1/2 cup beans.

    Repeat layering twice to use all tortillas,
    yogurt mixture, tomatoes and beans.

    Top with cheese.

    Bake in 375 degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes
    until cheese has melted and ingredients are bubbly.

    4 servings.
