From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

1 cup Raw rice
1 cup No fat plain yogurt
2 Tablespoon chopped fresh Cilantro (see note)
1/4 cup Tomatillo (green) taco Sauce
1 medium Onion, sliced
6 cloves Garlic, minced
1 dash white wine
2 cup Frozen or canned corn - Thawed/drained
4 Ounces sliced blackOlives, drained
1 medium Zucchini
14 Ounces chili
1 recipe Spiced beans (see note)
1 medium Ripe tomato, seeded and Chopped
 

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put rice on to cook. Mix yogurt with cilantro and taco sauce. Set aside. "Saute" onions and garlic in wine till soft. In a casserole dish spritzed with PAM layer: corn, cooked rice, olives, zucchini, onion/garlic. Pour beans over all. Cover and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes or until heated thoroughly. Sprinkle tomatoes over top and drizzle with yogurt mixture. Serve. Notes: Buy fresh cilantro, wash, dry completely, chop and freeze spread out on a piece of wax paper. Store in a zip lock baggie and then you can have fresh cilantro anytime. I bought the grocery store brand of "Mexican style chili beans." They have little/no fat in them. Variations: scallions: shredded lettuce on top with tomato, mushrooms sauted with onions, etc. Source: I made up this recipe after having something similar in a restaurant.
