Ingredients:

• 15 oz. can – kidney beans
• 1 cup – salsa
• 1 8 oz. package – grated Mild Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2 – onion, chopped finely
• 1/2 – green bell pepper, chopped finely
• 5 or 6 – Lettuce leaves cut into small pieces
• 1 – Tomato chopped
• 4 or 5 – taco shells – crumbled (can substitute Corn tortilla chips here also)

Method:

1. Drain and wash kidney beans. Mash them with a spatula to make a bean paste.
2. To the bean paste add salsa to create a pinkish looking mixture. Place half of the bean mixture on a microwave proof serving plate.
3. Sprinkle half of the onion, peppers, and cheese.
4. Microwave on high for 3 minutes or until the cheese melts.
5. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, and the crushed taco shells (or tortilla chips). Repeat the same process in a second plate.
