1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 475 F. Combine half of tomatoes, beans, hot sauce, and cilantro in bowl. Spread evenly in 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. 2. Cook beef in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Remove foil, top with remaining cheese and bake until melted, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve. |
