Mexican potato topping

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1packChopped spinach (frozen)
1Red bell pepper; chopped
1cupFrozen corn (I use Green Giant Extra Sweet Niblets) (up to 2)
1largeOnion; chopped
1Clove garlic; minced
8ouncesTaco sauce (hotness to preference, I use medium)
1teaspoonChili powder
Cumin; to taste
Coriander; to taste
Cilantro; to taste

Directions

(Sometimes I substitute 1 can black beans for the spinach, and I have also put mushrooms in it. I think most anything would work - like zucchini.

Put the spinach in the microwave in the box and nuke for 4 minutes. Then take out and drain thoroughly. Be careful not to burn your fingers. Sautee the onions and garlic in water, then add the peppers, corn and spinach, sauce, and seasonings. Simmer until everything is soft, but still crunchy.

I use this on baked potatoes with my tofu (sour) cream, also in whole wheat tortillas, and just as a dip with fat free chips sometimes.
