Healthier fiesta bowl perfect for potlucks. Top with dressing and tortilla strips before serving.
Ingredients:
  • 2 6-inch corn tortillas
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 box (9 oz) frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free milk
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups torn romaine lettuce
  • 4 plum tomatoes, chopped (2 cups)
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and chopped
  • Snipped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch-wide strips and spread them in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Lightly coat the tortillas with cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until crispy, remember to stir them halfway through. Let them cool on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the corn following the instructions on the package. Allow it to cool.
  • Prepare the dressing by combining sour cream, 1/4 cup cilantro, milk, oil, garlic, chili powder, lime peel, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • In a large glass serving bowl, layer lettuce, tomatoes, beans, cooled corn, cheese, and avocado. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with tortilla strips. Optionally, top with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
