1
can (15 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed
1
cup chopped Italian plum tomatoes

I'd love to try this but I'm really going to have to tweak it so that's much lower in calories. My jaw dropped when I saw it was 1000 calories! OUCH! AZGal has the right idea of using reduced fat cheese, lean beef etc. I'd keep a bit of corn though and reduce the amount of cheese too.

I have NEVER had a bad thing to say about a Betty recipe...till today...1000 calories and 2020 mg sodium per serving...YIKES...15 g of fiber is a good thing...lol this could be made healthy so easy....use 4% ground beef, salsa, no corn, baked tortilla chips and reduced fat cheese, sprinkled with chopped tomatoes, onions and sliced olives...I do like the idea of using the grill...
