Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups potatoes -- cubed

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup onion -- chopped

1/2 cup red bell pepper -- diced

4 cloves garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups tomatoes (peeled) - seeded, diced

1/2 cup corn kernels*, thawed

1/4 cup ripe olives -- chopped

2 corn tortillas, cut in 2-inch strips

1 tablespoon cilantro -- minced

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese - grated

2 cups lettuce leaves, thinly sliced

1/2 cup sour cream (fat free)

4 green onions -- thinly sliced diagonally

For Garnish: cilantro sprigs

Makes 4 servings.

 

* Corn - use fresh or frozen

 

Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water until just firm-tender, about

6 to 7 minutes. Drain well.

 

Heat the oil in a large, non stick skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high

heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown,

about 5 to 6 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, about 5 to 6

minutes or until potatoes are nearly tender. Push potatoes to one side and add

bell pepper, garlic, cumin and salt, stirring until combined. Stir into

potato mixture along with the tomatoes, corn, olives, tortillas and cilantro.

Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 3

to 4 minutes. Stir in cheese and remove from heat.

 

To serve, mound potatoes in the center of individual plates. Surround with a

ring of lettuce leaves. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle of green

onions. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
