An innovative twist has changed this manicotti, a traditional Italian dish, into a Mexican feast. Chunky salsa replaces the Italian tomato sauce, and adding black beans makes this a hearty dish. Your family will say Olé! every time you serve it!
10 uncooked manicotti shells
1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey breast
1 (16-ounce) jar chunky-style salsa
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces (1 cup) shredded Monterey Jack-Colby cheese blend
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cook manicotti to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; rinse with cold water.
In large bowl, combine ground chicken, 3/4 cup of the salsa, 3/4 cup of the beans, garlic powder and pepper; mix well. In small bowl, combine remaining salsa and beans; mix well. Cover; reserve for topping.
Stuff manicotti with chicken mixture. Arrange in sprayed baking dish. Cover with foil.
Bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes. Uncover baking dish; top with reserved salsa mixture and cheese. Bake, uncovered, an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and cheese is melted.
