Tips

I mix simple greens, fresh tomatoes, and some cheese in a light red wine/honey vinaigrette.


Directions

Put in saute pan meat, onion, 1 tsp of adobo, 1/2 tsp of Sauzon.
Slightly brown meat- you can substitute chicken or turkey.

Once meat is partially cooked add:
corn, black beans, tomatoes, and remaining seasonings. Cook all until moisture from tomatoes is absorbed.

While this is cooking, crumble queso fresco and mix with cheddar and Mexican style cheeses.

Layer in glass pan- whole wheat wraps, then meat, then cheese, then enchilada sauce. Layer to about 1/4 inch from top, finishing with cheese.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes covered in foil. Remove foil and let bake until cheese is to desired brown color.

Serve over salad if desired. And with sides of sour cream, guacamole, black olives, and blue corn chips.
