Chili-Corn Taco Pie

Chili-Corn Taco Pie

Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef, turkey, or imitation meat crumbles

1 small can roasted green chiles

1 can yellow corn, undrained

1 small onion, diced

1 tsp. minced garlic

2 tsp olive oil

1 packet reduced sodium taco seasoning

1/3 c. instant brown rice

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper

1 can fat free refried beans

1/2 c. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375*. In a large skillet, heat the oil with the garlic and onion, cooking until the onion is slightly transluscent, about 3 minutes. Add your protein, and cook until crumbled and almost cooked through. Pour the entire contents of the can of corn into the pan, followed by the taco seasoning. Add the rice and simmer about 3 minutes. Pour contents of the chile can into the bottom of an 8×8 square pan, followed by the meat mixture. Spread the refried beans on top of the meat mixture. Top with cheese, and bake until bubbling and the cheese is brown, about 25 minutes.
