Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup sweet corn, canned or frozen (thawed)
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Layer 4 corn tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them to cover the entire surface.
Spread half of the bean and corn mixture evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese on top.
Add another layer of 4 corn tortillas, followed by the remaining bean and corn mixture. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
