1 1/2cupsfrozen corn or 1 can of corndrained
1 1/2cupscooked black beansor the bean of your choice or 1 can of beans, rinsed and well drained
2-3cupsshredded cheese or your choiceI used a Mexican cheese blend, Monterrey jack and pepperjack on our separate plates
Tortilla chips
Optional toppings: sour creamjalapenos, green onions, salsa, guacamole
Instructions
Cook and crumble the ground beef in a skillet over medium high heat. My beef had almost no grease, however, if yours has a good bit, drain most of it off before continuing. Season generously with the Mexican Spice Mix as it is cooking and stir to coat well. Add the corn and beans and stir to combine. Cover with lid and cook for a couple minutes, until everything is warm.
OVEN DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread tortilla chips across a large baking sheet (line with a silpat for easy cleanup). Top with the meat mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: Place tortilla chips on individual plates and top with a scoop of the meat mixture spread across the chips. Sprinkle with cheese and then cook each plate for about 20 seconds, just until the cheese has melted.
Serve with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
FREEZER MEAL: The filling can be cooked, cooled and frozen until
needed. Thaw in the refrigerator or reheat from frozen. Prepare nachos
