X
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini (about 8 oz), thinly sliced on the diagonal
- Kosher salt
- 1 (15-oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup prepared pico de gallo or home-style fresh salsa
- 1 Tbsp fresh whole oregano leaves
- 6 (6-inch) corn tortillas, halved
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Chihuahua cheese
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
Steps
- Sprinkle the zucchini slices all over with ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Stir together the beans, pico de gallo and oregano in a medium bowl.
- Arrange the following in layers in a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan or 10-inch round microwave-safe dish: 4 of the tortilla halves, one-third of the bean mixture, one-third of the zucchini and ¼ cup of the cheese. Repeat twice, while packing down the layers. Sprinkle with additional salt and the remaining ¼ cup cheese.
- Microwave on high until the zucchini is fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the microwave and loosely cover with foil to finish the cooking process, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, preheat the oven to 375ºF, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and cook until heated through and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.)
- Sprinkle with the cilantro, slice into 4 wedges and serve.
