- 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 medium Zucchini (diced)
- 1 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 cup Guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the red onion and sauté for 3 minutes or until it softens.
Stir in the garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the black beans, corn, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Place one flour tortilla on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a layer of the black bean and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese over the mixture.
Repeat the layering process with a second tortilla, more of the vegetable mixture, and cheese. Continue until all tortillas and filling are used, finishing with shredded cheese on top.
Bake the stack for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the stack from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Slice into quarters and serve with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
