Ingredients:
1 cup chopped onions
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (or 15-oz can, drained)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups rinsed, stemmed, chopped Swiss chard or spinach
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
8 oz grated sharp Cheddar
2 cups tomato salsa


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Saute onions in oil for about 8 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, corn, black beans, lime juice, salt, pepper and continue to saute for 5 - 10 minutes, until heated through.

In another covered pot, place thestill damp Swiss chard or spinach. Place the pot on high heat and steam for 2 to 3 minutes, until it's bright green.Take the lid off and stir it around a little while it's cooking. (This method is now my favorite. No pot of water to boil. It's done in a snap.) Remove the pot from the heat.

Prepare an 8 x 8-inch casserole dish or baking pan with a light coating of oil or cooking spray. Spread 1/2 of the crushed tortilla chips on the bottom. Spoon the sauteed vegetables over thetortilla chips and sprinkle on about 2/3 of the grated cheese. Arrange the greens evenly over the cheese and spoon onhalf of the salsa. Finish with the rest of the tortilla chips and top with the remainingsalsa andCheddar. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown.
