Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put rice on to cook. Mix yogurt with cilantro and taco sauce. Set aside. "Saute" onions and garlic in wine till soft.
In a casserole dish spritzed with PAM layer: corn, cooked rice, olives, zucchini, onion/garlic. Pour beans over all. Cover and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
Sprinkle tomatoes over top and drizzle with yogurt mixture. Serve.
Notes:
Buy fresh cilantro, wash, dry completely, chop and freeze spread out on a piece of wax paper. Store in a zip lock baggie and then you can have fresh cilantro anytime.
I bought the grocery store brand of "Mexican style chili beans." They have little/no fat in them.
Variations: scallions: shredded lettuce on top with tomato, mushrooms sauted with onions, etc.
