Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup quick-cooking grits, uncooked
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup minced reduced-fat, low-salt ham
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 cup no-salt-added pinto beans, drained

2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup (4 oz) shredded reduced-fat monterey jack cheese

Spoon remaining 3/4 cup salsa evenly over servings; sprinkle cheese over salsa. Spoon remaining grits mixture evenly over cheese. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with tomato slices and cilantro sprigs.
