Ingredients
-
**Dough**
2 Cups of Corn Meal
1 Egg
1 1/2 to 2 1/4 cups of ice-cold water
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
**The Rest**
1 Can (2 Cups) Refried Beans
1 Can (2 Cups) Refried Black Beans
1 Medium Zucchini, sliced thing lengthwise
1 Medium Yellow Squash, sliced thing lengthwise
1 Green Pepper, chopped
1 Medium Videlia Onion, chopped
10 oz Chicken Breast, cooked and chopped
1 Cup and 2 tbs Cottage Cheese
2 Cups 'Mexican' Blend Shredded Cheese
4 tbs Olive Oil
4 tbs Taco Seasoning
1 Cup Salsa
Tips
This can easily be expanded to a larger pan with more layers, while the chicken can be substituted out for any other meat or more exotic vegetables to create a vegetarian version. With a larger batch, I'd likely suggest more of the cheese filling and more salsa.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375
