EASY, DELICIOUSLY CHEESY SAUTEED CORN, MEXICAN STYLE



Easy, Deliciously Cheesy Sauteed Corn, Mexican Style image

Surprisingly, this is a pretty low-cal side dish! I made this last night when I just didn't know what to eat! I knew I felt "cheesy", and there was loads of corn at home, but I didn't feel up to an elaborate recipe, so I put this together and topped this dish over pita bread for a great dinner!

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels or 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
1 -2 tablespoon salsa (use your favourite)

Steps:

  • Dump the first 5 ingredients (corn to oregano) in a medium saucepan, stir well, and saute on a high flame for about 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed or evaporated.
  • Now reduce the flame to low and add the cheese spread, and swirl it around with the sauteed corn with a wooden spoon until melted and well mixed.
  • Serve hot, on bread, or over mashed potatoes, or with just about anything else!
  • It's so yummy, you eat it straight.

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 (19 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 cups fresh corn or 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen corn
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 corn tortillas, quartered
1 (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini, beans, tomatoes, corn, cumin and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Scatter half the tortilla pieces in the baking dish. Top with about half the vegetable mixture, about half the enchilada sauce and half the cheese. Repeat with one more layer of tortillas, vegetables, sauce and cheese. Cover with foil.
  • Bake the casserole for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
