  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/3 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese or reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

    Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, sauté the spinach, onion, red pepper and jalapeno in oil until tender. Stir in the corn, beans and seasonings; heat through. Remove from the heat. Stir in shredded cheese and cream cheese until melted.
