Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, (chopped)
1 medium garlic clove, (minced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1½ teaspoons chili powder
1 (14-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes, (drained, 1/4 cup juice reserved)
¼ cup tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans black or pinto beans (or a mix), (drained)
1½ cups frozen corn
3 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach ((baby or regular will work))
salt and ground black pepper
8 corn tortillas
2 cups monterey jack or cheddar cheese ( (I used both))
Optional toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, chopped fresh jalapeño, sour cream, salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8x11 or 9x9 inch baking dish (or a similar sized pan) with cooking spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium low heat and add the onion, garlic, cumin and chili powder. Stir for a few minutes until the onions are soft and the spices are fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, reserved tomato juice, tomato paste, beans, corn and spinach. Stir and cook for another minute or two until the spinach has wilted and the corn has thawed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place two corn tortillas in the bottom of the prepared pan and top with 1/4 of the bean mixture, spreading the mixture evenly. Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Repeat until all of the ingredients have been used up, finishing with the cheese.
  • Bake until the tortilla casserole has cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve with garnishes, if desired (I highly recommend them!).

This casserole is perfect for a special brunch. It combines the spices of the Southwest with the comfort of a hearty breakfast. You can spice it up by adding cayenne and hot peppers, or mellow it by replacing the tomatoes and green chilies with mild salsa. It's versatile and easy-no wonder it's a longtime family favorite. -Darlene Buerger, Peoria, Arizona
