Mexican casserole:
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound prepared black beans (I used a mix of black, white and pinto beans)
1 (8-oz.) jar salsa
2 tablespoons taco sauce
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder (will use MUCH less, since I'd like to be able to eat it....)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 cups baked tortilla chips (I used the plain Doritos which are kosher here in Israel)
1 cup low fat sour cream (I used Gvinah Levanah)
1/2 cup sliced green onions
3/4 cup chopped tomato
4 ounces low fat Cheddar cheese, shredded
Shredded lettuce (optional)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, combine beans, salsa, taco sauce, cumin, chili powder and garlic powder; heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Place tortilla chips in an un-greased 2-quart casserole; top with bean mixture. Spread sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with onions, tomato and cheese; bake, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Garnish with shredded lettuce and additional taco sauce, if desired.

Yes, you can use canned.

Not sure about low-fat, but my cheese monger in the shuk in Jerusalem has Mehadrin cheeses. I can ask if he has Mehadrin cheddar.

I've also used corn tortillas, flour tortillas, & mozzarella (we're out of cheddar at the moment) even my toddlers ate it. I made it pretty bland for half the family and the other half of us added jalepenos& salsa.

I've served with avocado, spanish rice, yellow rice, or white rice. It's yum! Great pics Yesha!

Can I still make it if I can't get salsa Crying here? I wouldn't want to skip it out...maybe some substitute or a homemade (quick and easy) makeshift salsa?

You need the sauce. So if you can make your own salsa (or even an enchilada sauce) it will be fine.

I have made something similar, using matbucha or salat turki instead of salsa (lots cheaper too!)

Can't get those either. I guess my real question was if anyone has a quick and easy recipe that I can use to substitute for salsa.

Not sure how authentic the recipe actually is LOL... and I found the recipe online.

Here's another yummy recipe, similar to what I posted. I make it either with chopped meat and leave out the cheese or make a mock meat from lentils for this: http://imamother.com/forum/vie.....37849

here's my recipe for salsa:

dice:
tomato
onion
pepper (jalepeno or chili)
garlic
paprika

You could let it simmer a bit if you like, but I kept mine like pico de gallo, fresh instead of cooked.
