1 cup (250 mL) chopped Italian plum tomatoes
1 cup (250 mL) julienne-cut (2x1/4x1/4-inch) zucchini
1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped green onions
1 (19 FL oz/540 mL) can black beans, drained rinsed
1 jar Old El Paso* Taco Sauce
1 cup (250 mL) fat-reduced sour cream

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, halved
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

  • In medium bowl, combine tomatoes, zucchini, onions and beans; mix well. Stir in cooked ground beef. Reserve 1/3 cup taco sauce; set aside. In another medium bowl, combine remaining taco sauce, sour cream and taco seasoning mix.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons taco sauce mixture in bottom of sprayed baking dish. Arrange 8 tortilla halves over sauce, overlapping as necessary. Spoon half of vegetable-bean mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Spoon half of remaining sauce mixture over cheese. Repeat layers, reserving 1/2 cup cheese for top. Top with reserved 1/3 cup taco sauce. Cover with foil; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
