I adapted a Weight Watchers recipe slightly to suit my personal tastes. It is a very filling meal and a nice choice for vegetarians.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen corn, thawed

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups cooked brown rice

3/4 cup reduced-fat mexican cheese blend, shredded

3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon table salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons reduced-fat mexican cheese blend, shredded

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a 2-qt glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except 2 tablespoons cheese. Mix well.
3. Spoon mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
4. Allow to stand 5 minutes before cutting into six squares.
