Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Jar Enchilada Sauce (I like 505 Green Chile Sauce)
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese, divided
  • 1/2 whole White onion, chopped
  • 1 whole Red or Orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 whole Jalapeno, seeds and stem removed, chopped
  • 1 6-8 oz Zucchini, chopped
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 15 oz Black Beans
  • 1 cup Corn kernals
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 18 Corn Tortillas
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare vegetables by chopping and mincing. To save time, consider putting the onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno in the food processor and pulse 3-5 times until chopped.
  2. In a small bowl mix together enchilada sauce, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of Mexican shredded cheese.
  3. Steam onions, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. You can skip this step if you want to keep a little crunch in your vegetables.
  4. In a large bowl, mix onions, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, zucchini, garlic, black beans, corn, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin.
  5. Layer 1/2 sauce mixture on the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan. Add 6 corn tortillas for the next layer. Add 1/2 of the veggie mixture. Repeat sauce, tortillas, then veggies. Lastly add one more layer of tortillas to the top. Finish with the remaining 1/2 cup Mexican cheese.
  6. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
