Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained
  • 1.5 cups Corn
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cups Enchilada sauce
  • 8 small Corn tortillas
  • 1.5 cups Mexican cheese, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • to taste Salt Add after adding sauces and cheese

Instructions

Preparation

  • Measure all ingredients before starting. Thaw frozen ingredients and drain canned ingredients as needed.
  • Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Assembly and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • In a bowl, mix together the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and cumin until well combined.
  • In the greased baking dish, layer the corn tortillas, followed by the bean mixture, enchilada sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
  • Top with any remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes, or until everything is bubbly and golden.
  • Continue baking as necessary until the center is hot and edges are bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Taste the cooked filling before adding more seasoning; adjust gradually due to varying salt levels in ingredients. Serve with a green salad or steamed vegetables.
