  • 1 16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 11 oz. can Mexican-style corn, drained
  • 1 tsp fajita seasoning or chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 10 oz. pkg 6-inch corn tortillas (I used flour instead - it was fine)

  • 3 cups 12 oz. shredded Mexican four-cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Saute onion in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until tender. Stir in next 6 ingredients. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, 5 min. or until thoroughly heated.
  2. Spoon one-third of the sauce mixture into a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer with one-third of tortillas, half of chopped chicken, and 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers with one-third each of sauce mixture and tortillas, remaining chicken and 1 cup cheese. Top with remaining tortillas, sauce mixture and 1 cup cheese.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
