How to Make Black Bean And Tortilla Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, diced tomatoes (undrained), green onions, cumin, and chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in tomato sauce and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in rinsed and drained black beans, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
- Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Layer 2 tortillas in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with 2/3 cup of the cheese and 1/3 of the bean mixture.
- Repeat layers: 2 tortillas, 2/3 cup cheese, 1/3 bean mixture.
- Top with the remaining 2 tortillas, the remaining cheese, and sprinkle with any remaining bean mixture if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes, covered with foil. Then bake for an additional 10 minutes uncovered, or until bubbly and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
