Introduction

Vegetarian and packed with protein! I threw this together with what I had in the fridge, and you could certainly improvise with what you have on hand. I think the tanginess of the goat cheese really made the dish. Vegetarian and packed with protein!

Ingredients

    9 small corn tortillas
    1 1/2 cups cooked (or canned) black or pinto beans
    1 medium zucchini, diced
    1 sweet potato, diced and steamed until tender
    4 oz fresh baby spinach
    4 oz queso blanco, shredded
    4 oz soft goat cheese
    handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
    juice of one lime
    1 tsp chili powder, or to taste
    1/2 c salsa verde (I used Trader Joe's brand)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil or spray a medium casserole dish.

In a large bowl, combine beans, zucchini, queso blanco, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

Place three tortillas in a single layer in the dish. Add 1/2 of the bean mixture, 1/2 of sweet potato, 1/2 of spinach, and 1/2 of goat cheese. Repeat. Finish with the last three tortillas and top with salsa verde. Cover and bake about 30 minutes.
