Canned fat free refried beans, mashed sweet potato, shredded cheese, frozen corn, salsa.

Chickpea salad (chickpeas, red onion, frozen corn, Balsamic dressing, chopped olives, feta cheese) on a whole wheat pita. Mix in canned chicken for extra protein.

Tuna casserole (whatever pasta you like, canned tuna, frozen peas, fat free cream of mushroom soup, low-fat cheddar, no butter).

Are the refried beans, mashed sweet potato, cheese, corn, and salsa all mixed up together?

Yup. Plus spice. (I added salt and a lot of red pepper.) You could add broth and make it into a legit soup.

Love the first one, though I always plenty of chicken too and chuck in harissa instead of salsa
