Vegetarian Taco Salad

From eatingwell.com

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 C. fresh corn kernels (see Tip) or frozen, thawed
  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 C. cooked long-grain brown rice (see Tip)
  • 1 (15-oz) can black, kidney or pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, divided
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 C. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 C. prepared salsa
  • 2 C. shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
  • 1 C. shredded pepper Jack cheese
  • 2 1/2 C. coarsely crumbled tortilla chips
  • Lime wedges for garnish

 

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and corn; cook, stirring, until the onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Coarsely chop 1 tomato. Add it to the pan along with rice, beans, chili powder, 1 tsp. oregano and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomato cooks down, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Coarsely chop the remaining 3 tomatoes. Combine with cilantro, salsa and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano in a medium bowl.

Toss lettuce in a large bowl with the bean mixture, half the fresh salsa and 2/3 cup cheese. Serve sprinkled with tortilla chips and the remaining cheese, passing lime wedges and the remaining fresh salsa at the table.
