Cook the beets, potato, onion, tomato and jalapeno in about 2 cups water for about 60 minutes in microwave at full power. Mash everything together but not too much.
Add potatoes and cook 5 minutes. Add green beans and banana peppers, cook 5 minutes or until done. Add the three tomatoes and basil, let sit for a few minutes to allow tomatoes to warm, put in bowls and top with cucumber and cheese. Enjoy.
