Ingredients
Scale
Beans
- 2 cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed
Sauces
- 2 cups Enchilada Sauce
Tortillas
- 10-12 Soft Tortillas

- 1 cup Corn, sweet
- 1 Onion, chopped

- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded

- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili Powder

Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Drain and rinse the black beans, chop the onions, and measure out your spices. Having everything ready will streamline the cooking process.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the onions until they are translucent. This will take about 5 minutes. The fragrance of the onions will make your kitchen feel welcoming!
- Combine the Fillings: In the skillet, add the black beans, corn, spices, and half of the enchilada sauce. Stir the mixture until everything is well-combined and heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Layer the Casserole: In a baking dish, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a layer of tortillas at the bottom, followed by a layer of the black bean mixture, then sprinkle with cheese. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, topping with tortillas and the remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving; this will help it set up nicely.
Notes
- Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.
- Cover with Foil: If the cheese is browning too fast in the oven, cover it with foil to prevent burning.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and quality cheese will enhance the overall taste.
- Serve with Dips: Pair the casserole with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for added flavor.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This dish is perfect for prepping ahead; you can assemble it the night before and bake it when ready.
