Prepare a simple, hearty skillet dish featuring tender cabbage mixed with smoky seasonings and topped with crunchy Fritos.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup salsa (medium heat recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups Fritos corn chips, lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or large oven-safe skillet.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the corn, black beans, salsa, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Transfer the cabbage mixture to your prepared baking dish if you did not use an oven-safe skillet.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the crushed Fritos chips. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use fire-roasted salsa.
  • You can substitute kidney beans for black beans if preferred.
  • Crush the Fritos just before topping the dish to keep them as crunchy as possible.
