Leer en Español

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium potatoes (each about 5 inches x 2 inches)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1 cup corn (canned and drained, frozen, or fresh cooked)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (try cheddar, pepper jack, or Mexican blend)

Directions:

1. Scrub potatoes well. Poke each potato with a fork 2 or 3 times. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, turn potatoes over, and microwave another 3 to 5 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Set aside.

2. In a microwave safe bowl, combine beans, salsa and corn. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

3. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and flatten with a fork. Divide bean mixture between the four halves. Sprinkle with cheese and serve warm.

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
