Here, the flavours of tacos transform into a super tasty family-size bake, pumped up with lots of veggies. We’ve used corn tortillas for a toasted corn flavour, but you can replace them with regular flour tortillas, or use whole grain tortillas for an extra fibre boost.

Ingredients

Zucchini

2 medium, chopped

Green shallot(s)

4 individual, sliced, plus extra to serve

Frozen corn

160 g, thawed

Canned black beans, rinsed, drained

1 400g can

Roasted capsicum, not in oil

½ cup(s), red variety, chopped, drained, (75g)

Ground cumin

1 tsp

Corn tortilla

9 regular, (9 x 45g)

Tomato-based salsa

1½ cup(s), (330g)

Colby cheese

1 cup(s), grated, grated, (120g)

Jalapenos

1 individual, thinly sliced

Oil spray

2 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly spray an 18 x 28cm baking dish with oil.
  2. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and shallots, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, until zucchini starts to soften. Add corn, black beans, capsicum and cumin and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Arrange 3 tortillas in prepared dish, tearing if needed to cover the base evenly. Spread with half the vegetable mixture and spoon over ½ cup (110g) salsa. Repeat layer with 3 more tortillas, remaining vegetable mixture and another ½ cup (110g) salsa. Top with remaining 3 tortillas and spread with remaining salsa. Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve sprinkled with jalapeño and extra shallots.
