Preheat oven to 350.

4 Corn tortillas.
Spread 1/2 can of beans over tortillas.
Sprinkle 1/3 of beef over the beans.
Spread about 1/4 cup of taco sauce over beef.
1/2 can of corn over sauce.

Another layer of corn tortillas.
Repeat above layers ending with a layer of beef.
Bake, covered 30 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle with 1 Cup of shredded cheese. Return to oven until cheese is fully melted.
