for some of us who grew up wishing we could have "Tuna and
Potato Chip Casserole" more often (the tastier, faster, costlier and less healthy version of tunafish & noodles), here's a Mexican version just about as fast to make and pretty healthy, and easy to adjust to taste:
(Quick and Healthy) Nacho Bake
1 bag crushed baked tortilla chips
1 bottle of salsa (watch for sales)
handful of snipped cilantro (or tsp. dried)
one can each:
Mexicorn (or "southwest" style corn, or regular corn)
chopped tomatoes with mild diced green chilis
black beans, rinsed and drained
stir it all together, bake til heated through (about 30-40 minutes at 350), throw some cheese on top and heat til melted
For the curious: Tuna Fish and Potato Chips
one or two cans tuna, drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup
pkg potato chips, crushed
extra milk if needed to moisten
stir together and bake until heated through and crispy on top
(nutrition facts: extreme sodium and fat content, but then again, tuna is healthy food, right? and you can serve green beans and squash and salad and fruit alongside)
