RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1 cup onions chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup tomato chopped
1 1/2 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen
1 1/2 cups black beans cooked, (15oz can, drained)
2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
2 cups swiss chard leaves or spinach, rinsed, stemmed and chopped
2 cups tortilla chips baked variety, crushed
8 ounces cheddar cheese fat free, grated
2 cups salsa tomato
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Saute the onions in the oil for about 8 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the tomatoes, corn, black beans, lime juice, salt, and pepper and continue to sauté for another 5 to 10 minutes, until just heated through.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, blanch the greens in boiling water to cover for 1 to 3 minutes, until just wilted but still bright green.
Drain immediately and set aside.
Prepare an 8x8 inch casserole dish or baking pan with a very light coating of oil or cooking spray.
Spread half of the crushed tortilla chips on the bottom.
Spoon the sautéed vegetables over the tortilla chips and sprinkle on about two-thirds of the grated Cheddar cheese.
Arrange the greens evenly over the cheese and spoon on half of the salsa.
Finish with the rest of the tortilla chips and top with the remaining salsa and Cheddar.
Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown.

Mexican Deviled Eggs
Mexican Recipes
Quite a nice version of deviled eggs. I used two Jalapeno peppers and it was just the right amount of spiciness for our tastes, not overpowering at all. The capers seemed to add but I couldn't really taste them, just a nice combination of mellow zing from the cumin and Jalapeno. The cilantro garnish really did add to the taste, next time I'll use a bit more garnish, perhaps even place a cilantro leaf in the cavity of each egg before filling. [Recipe details]
