 Ingredients

  • Oil 1 tbsp
  • Chopped onion 1 cup
  • Minced garlic 1 tsp
  • Ground cumin 1 tsp
  • Chili powder 1 ½ tsp
  • Chopped tomatoes 1 cup
  • Tomato paste 1/4 cup
  • Kidney beans 1 can (rinsed and drained)

  • Flour tortillas 4 medium-sized (6-inch) or boiled lasagna sheet 
  • Shredded cheddar cheese 1 cups
  • Sour cream (optional), for serving

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, minced garlic, cumin and chili powder and cook until you can smell the spices and the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. 
  2. Stir in the tomatoes with the 1/3 cup of water and the tomato paste. 
  3. Add the corn, beans and cook about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place tortilla or lasagna sheet in a pan. Spread one fourth of the bean mixture evenly over the tortilla, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the top. 
  5. Repeat with 3 more layers, ending with the last quarter of the bean mixture and then the last 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake the tortilla or lasagna sheet at 180 degree C until it is hot throughout and the top is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
