- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 oz canned sweet corn, drained
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 cup jalapeños, sliced (optional)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Pour half of the enchilada sauce (5 oz) evenly into the bottom of the casserole dish.
Arrange the frozen taquitos in a single layer over the enchilada sauce. You may need to overlap slightly to fit them all.
Spread the black beans and corn evenly over the taquitos.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce (5 oz) over the top, spreading it evenly using a spoon or spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the casserole.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Top the casserole with sour cream, green onions, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
