Black Bean and Corn-Topped Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4  (6-ounce) baking potatoes
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2  cup  chopped onion
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/2  teaspoon  chili powder
  • 1  (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans (such as Eden Organic), rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2  cups  frozen whole-kernel corn
  • 1 1/2  cups  fresh salsa
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) reduced-fat shredded cheddar-Jack cheese (such as Cabot)
  • 1/4  cup  chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

1. Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven. Microwave at HIGH 10 minutes, turning and rearranging potatoes after 5 minutes.
2. While potatoes cook, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and next 3 ingredients; sauté 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add beans, corn, and salsa; cook 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
3. Split potatoes lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Fluff with a fork. Spoon about 1 cup bean mixture over each potato. Top each serving evenly with cheese and cilantro.
