Ingredients

  • 6 ounces low-fat sausages
  • 16 ounces whole red peppers or 14 ounces chopped, ready-cut (4 cups)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes
  • 3 ears corn or 2 cups corn kernels
  • Several sprigs fresh basil to yield 1/4 cup chopped
  • 4 9- or 10-inch no-fat added flour tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 8 large Italian, Greek or French olives
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Turn oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove sausages from their casings or cut into bite-size pieces and cook in nonstick skillet until brown.
  • Seed and chop the whole peppers.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet until it is very hot; reduce the heat to medium high and add the oil.
  • Saute the peppers in the hot oil until they begin to soften.
  • Wash, trim and halve tomatoes.
  • Squeeze tomatoes in your hands to get rid of some of the seeds and juice.
  • When peppers are softened, stir in tomatoes and continue cooking over medium heat while you scrape kernels from the corn and chop the basil.
  • Place the tortillas directly on the oven rack and bake until they are brown and crisp, just a couple of minutes.
  • Watch carefully because they will bake quickly.
  • When the tomatoes are soft and some of the liquid has cooked away, add the corn, basil and anchovy paste and cook over low heat for a couple of minutes.
  • Pit olives and chop and stir into pan while corn cooks.
  • Season with pepper.
  • When tortillas are cooked, remove from the oven and top two of them with half of the topping mixture and serve.
  • Keep topping warm and spoon over the remaining tortillas when you are ready for seconds.
