  • Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
2/3 c young green onions, chopped2/3 c Lightlife Smart Ground1 c black beans, cooked and drained (e.g. Westbrae Natural Organic)4 oz provolone cheese (e.g. Organic Valley)20 cherry tomatoes2 tsp canola oil (e.g. Spectrum Organic)2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce (e.g. Annie's Naturals Organic)30 tortilla chips (e.g. Garden of Eatin' key lime jalapeno)chili powder to tasteground cumin to taste4 tbsp salsa (e.g. Muir Glen Organic Chipotle)
Directions
~ Heat oil in skillet over med-high heat (nonstick preferred). Add chopped onion, along with cumin and chili pepper to taste. Stir well and saute until onion is softened.

~ Add Smart Ground (or equivalent vegetarian protein) and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and continue cooking until hot.

~ Add tomatoes and saute, stirring occasionally. When tomatoes begin to soften, add black beans. Mix well and let cook, stirring occasionally.

~ While it cooks, grate the cheese. Taste the mixture and add more spices if necessary.

~ Since items in this dish are pre-cooked, it's pretty much done when you say it's done. When it's hot enough/browned enough/spicy enough for your taste, remove from heat. While it sits a minute, set the table with chips, salsa and cheese.

~ Serve mixture onto large plates. Top with cheese and salsa, letting the cheese melt in a little. Use chips to scoop and eat with. (Alternatively, array chips on cookie tray, dot with mixture and cheese, and bake for a couple of minutes. But this way is easier.)

~Garnish with salsa. Enjoy!

~ Makes 2 servings.
