Black Bean And Corn Enchilada Casserole (No Meat) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1 onion, diced
    1 bell pepper, diced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 teaspoons cumin
    1/2 teaspoon Mexican chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    2 (15 ounce) cans reduced sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
    1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
    1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies, HOT
    nonstick cooking spray
    1 (28 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
    12 corn tortillas
    1 1/2 cups reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
    1 1/2 cups reduced-fat colby-monterey jack cheese
Preparation
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Put the EVOO in a saute pan. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute for about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute another 2 minutes.
    3. Add the spices, and saute with the veggies for 1 minute before adding the black beans, corn, and the 2 cans of Rotel. Do not drain the Rotel, since you need the liquid.
    4. Cook the filling together for about 15 minutes. Taste the filling for seasoning, and adjust if you like.
    5. ASSEMBLY: spray your baking dish with non stick spray. Spoon a thin layer of the enchilada sauce to coat the bottom of the dish. I use El Pato red sauce, but use your favorite kind.
    6. Add one layer of corn tortillas (use 4). Cut them to fit if needed.
    7. Add another thin layer of enchilada sauce to the tortillas. Then add about half of the bean filling.
    8. Sprinkle one cup of cheese on top of the filling. Top with another layer of tortillas (4 tortillas).
    9. Top with enchilada sauce, another layer of beans, and another cup of cheese.
    10. Top with final 4 tortillas. Pour over the remaining sauce over the bake.
    11. Spray a piece of foil so it won't stick to the pan, and cover the dish. Bake for 30 minutes.
    12. Remove from the oven and take off the foil. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake for another 15 minutes.
    13. Let it sit out of the oven for about 5 minutes before serving.
    Toppings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, or Pico de Gallo (or be naughty and top with all).
