Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Casserole Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 18 medium corn tortillas (extra thin, low fat)
  • 28 oz red enchilada sauce (3.5 cups)
  • 1 Tbsp jalapeno sauce
  • 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)

  • 30 oz black beans (drained, rinsed)
  • 1½ cups shredded fat-free cheddar cheese

Garnish

  • ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 3 medium green onions (sliced)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside.
  • Combine enchilada sauce and jalapeno hot sauce in a bowl until fully mixed. Spread about ½ a cup on the bottom of the pan.
    28 oz red enchilada sauce, 1 Tbsp jalapeno sauce
  • Lay 6-8 tortillas on the bottom of the pan (overlapping is fine). Spread about 1 cup of the mixed sauce onto the tortillas, fully coating them.
    18 medium corn tortillas
  • Sprinkle half the beans, half the corn, and half the bell pepper on top of the sauced tortillas and top with half a cup of the cheese.
    1 medium green bell pepper, 1 medium red bell pepper, 1½ cups corn, 30 oz black beans, 1½ cups shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
  • Repeat the layering process starting again with the tortillas, then add sauce, then the rest of the beans, bell pepper, corn, and another half cup of the cheese.
  • Top this second layer with another 8 tortillas. Coat with the remaining sauce and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
  • Place in the middle rack of the oven for 45 - 55 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling, cheese is melted and the middle is cooked through. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, green onions, and serve.
    ¼ cup cilantro, 3 medium green onions
