How to Make Southwest Vegetarian Bake Weight Watchers Friendly
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1 cup long-grain rice and stir.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- While rice cooks, in a large bowl, combine: 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup frozen corn (thawed), 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), 1 cup salsa, 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and cooked rice.
- Lightly grease a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the rice and bean mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup chopped red onion and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
