I recently discovered Lilly’s Table, a meal planning site offering healthy, seasonal recipes. You can try a few for free, and I found this – I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks delicious and seems like a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. Check out her website if you’re interested, as well as her Pinterest page.
Ingredients
2 cups tortilla chips , your favorite kind
1½ cup black beans, or pinto beans, whole
1 cup salsa
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 beet, peel and shred
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3 cups greens, such as kale, collards, spinach, etc
½ cup cilantro, finely chopped, optional
Preparation Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Place a single layer of tortilla chips in the base of a small casserole dish. Top with a sprinkle of the black beans, salsa, carrots, beets, greens and cheese.
Add another layer of chips and repeat the toppings until everything is used up, just as you might create a lasagna. It doesn’t really matter how thick you layer it, but I prefer it in thin even layers.
Finish with the cheese and half of the cilantro. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the center is hot to the touch. After it is cooked, top with a final sprinkle of the fresh cilantro.
