'My family loves Mexican food, so I came up with this simple satisfying casserole that gets its spark from salsa,' comments Kim Osburn of Ligonier, Indiana. 'We like it so much that there are rarely leftovers.'
This Pigs in Ponchos (Tortilla-Wrapped Franks and Beans) recipe contains hot dogs, flour tortillas, shredded monterey jack cheese, refried beans, salsa verde and more.
Making your own tortilla chips helps manage fat levels. Organic refried beans may have at least half the sodium of conventional ones and can have a drier texture. We add a little lime juice to smooth out the beans and enhance the flavor. Using organic salsa also helps keep sodium in check. This dip comes together quickly for parties or as an appetizer course.
A simple, everyday approach to miso soup - it yields me a bowl of soup in five or ten minutes. You can keep it simple if you like, but in this version I add soba noodles and tofu, and a few garnishes.
