Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Put rice on to cook. Mix yogurt with cilantro and taco sauce. set aside. "Saut&eacut;" 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° F 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 sautéed with onions, etc.
