Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a baking dish, layer the sliced zucchini at the bottom.
  3. Spoon in the black beans, corn, and salsa on top of the zucchini.
