  • 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 medium zucchinis, chopped
  • 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 each green and red bell pepper, chopped

  • ¼ cup fat-free sour cream

Instructions

1.       Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place corn tortillas on baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp.

2.       While tortillas are in the oven, heat a large, nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add oil. Once hot, sauté zucchini, tomatoes, onion, peppers, corn and scallion for 4 minutes.

3.       Drain excess liquids through a mesh strainer. Return vegetables to pan. Stir in cilantro and salt.

4.       Onto each of 4 baked tortillas, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the cheese and 1/8 of vegetable mixture. Top each with another baked tortilla. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and vegetable mixture. Top with remaining baked tortillas.

5.       Serve each "tower" with 1 tablespoon sour cream, and if desired, fresh cilantro.
