1 can (15-19 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15-16 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained

1 can (14 and 1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes

1 cup salsa

12 large corn tortillas

8 oz. pepper jack cheese, shredded (1 cup), I used fat free and low-

fat cheddar

 

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 " x9 " x2 " -baking baking dish with

vegetable cooking spray. Mix beans, corn, tomatoes, and salsa.

Cover bottom of baking dish with 4 tortillas. Spread half of the bean

mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle with one third of the cheese. Layer

with 4 tortillas, remaining bean mixture, and one third of the

cheese. Top with remaining tortillas and cheese. Cover with foil;

bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes.

This slices like lasagne. Top each slice with a dollop of fat-free

sour cream and serve with a salad.
