Ingredients

2 cups cooked white rice
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 (10 ounce) can of diced Mexican-style tomatoes (like Rotel)
1 cup salsa
1 cup low-fat sour cream
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, divided
1 small red onion, chopped
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350.
2
In a large bowl, combine beans, corn, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, 1 cup cheese and cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper.
3

This is tasty! My boyfriend and I both loved it! He loved the spiciness, but I would like to make it with regular tomatoes, instead of Rotel, next time. I'll definitely be making this again! I served this with homemade enchiladas and refried beans.

Santa Fe Beans & Rice is my favorite WW dinner - I eat it at least 1-2x/wk - so I was VERY thrilled to find this recipe. I cannot believe how close this tastes to WW version! I have made it with chicken that I cut into 1" pieces and browned w/ "Mexican Seasoning". There was only enough left for me to take to lunch the next day!! Thanks, KelBel for your version of one of "our" favorite dinners....debi

Delicious! This was a great addition to my growing list of meatless meals. Creamy, hearty goodness. I used non-fat plain yogurt instead of sourcream and omitted the onions for picky eaters. We ate this with tortilla chips and my husband said he thought it would make a great warm Mexican-style dip instead of the normal seven layer dip. So I think I'll be adding this to my appetizer list too! Thanks for posting.
