Vegetarian TexMex Style Dish

Omnomnom...

Is the only thing you'll be able to say!

I love Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine! You probably know this by reading my chili con carne recipe or the refried beans recipe, so I'm not going to bore you again by telling how much I love it!
The reason I like this vegetarian recipe is because in the first place it is a really easy dish and secondly it is delicious and cheap!
This dish is something you can serve to anyone! Kids love it, grownups love it, vegetarians love it, meat lovers love it and the fun is... you can eat it with your hands! ... or with fork and knife.
It can perfectly be served as a starter or main dish and you need some guacamole (recipe) and sour cream with it!
For you who really can't live a day without meat: add some ground beef to the tomato salsa. But before you do so, why not try it vegetarian style first?!

Vegetarian Tex-Mex dish

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (2x400gr) of diced tomatoes
• 1 small can of sweet corn
• 2 red capsicums/paprikas, diced
• 1 green capsicum/paprika, diced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, diced
• vegetable oil
• grated cheddar/other cheese (to taste)
• 2 tbs paprika powder
• 1,5 tbs cumin
• 1 to 2 tbs chili powder (to taste)
• salt and pepper
• 1 big bag of tortilla chips
• guacamole
• sour Cream
• cilantro
• lovely people to share it with

Preparation:

Heat some oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion and garlic. After 5 minutes add the capsicum and stew for a few minutes. Add both cans of diced tomatoes, the paprika powder, cumin and chili powder and let it simmer on low heat until most of the moisture has vaporized. Add the corn and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Preheat the oven on "grill" setting.

Take a large oven-resitant dish. Spread out some tortilla chips so they cover the plate and top with 2/3 of the tomato salsa. Scatter some cheese on top to taste (want a heavy dish? put on loads of cheese! Want a light dish? wel, take it easy with the cheesy!). In the middle put a layer of tortilla chips smaller than the circle underneath and top with the remaining tomato salsa and some cheese.

put in the oven until the cheese has grilled nicely.

Sprinkle some cilantro on top and serve with some fresh guacamole, sour cream and the remaining tortilla chips.

Enjoy!
