This is a vegetarian Weight Watchers recipe that went over very well. I ate the leftovers for days and would just keep adding salsa if it dried out in the fridge at all. Nick added more cilantro to his and Ben added more cheese. Another one of the mammoth portions that you can't believe is actually decently low in points. Overall, very good.
Ingredients
1 spray(s) cooking spray
4 cup(s) cooked brown rice
1 1/4 cup(s) salsa
1 tsp ground cumin
15 oz canned refried beans
10 oz frozen corn kernels, thawed
4 oz canned green chili peppers, mild, diced
1 tbsp chili powder
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and set to drain in a strainer over a bowl
