Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes and green chilies, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cheddar cheese, and half of the Monterey Jack cheese.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Layer 3-4 noodles over the sauce.
Spread half of the meat mixture over the noodles.
