Hot-Cold Enchilada Salad

Makes 5 cups, not including romaine | Ready in 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 onion, diced (6 oz)
1 cup corn*
4 garlic cloves, minced
1–2 tablespoons chili powder
½ tablespoon ground cumin
1½ cups cooked black beans (15-oz can, drained and rinsed)
1½ cups cooked pinto beans (15-oz can, drained and rinsed)
15 oz tomato sauce, no salt added
¼ cup fresh cilantro, diced
1 tomato of your choice, diced
1 head romaine leJuce, chopped (keep cold in the fridge until needed)
1 lime, juiced

ACTION STEPS

1. In a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the onion and corn. Cover and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Sauté for a few more minutes, or unKl the onions become translucent. Stir occasionally.

2. Add the beans and tomato sauce, stir well and replace the lid. Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce is simmering and the beans are hot.

3. Turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro, fresh tomato, and lime juice.

4. Plate the chilled chopped romaine on individual plates. Pile a couple of scoops of the enchilada mix (around 1 to 2 cups) over the greens. Garnish with extra cilantro.

CHEF’S NOTE

For better and more authentic flavor, grill or roast the corn on the cob, and then slice off the corn kernels. I love the hot-cold contrast of the warm beans and veggies over the cold romaine. However, this salad is delicious when the enchilada mix is served chilled as well.
