Ingredients:

• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1/2 med onion, chopped
• 15 oz tomato sauce
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can whole kernel corn, undrained (I used shoepeg)
• 1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles, undrained
• 6 flour tortillas (8 in)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar (reduced fat)
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

Directions:

• Brown beef and onion in large skillet, drain.  Add tomato sauce, beans, corn and green chiles, mix well.  Stir in all of the spices except red pepper.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat to low; simmer for 5 min.  Add red pepper to taste if desired (I skipped it).
• Spread 1/2 cup of the beef mixture on bottom of 13x9 baking dish sprayed with non stick spray.  Top with 3 of the tortillas, overlapping as needed.  Layer with 1/2 of the remaining beef mixture and 1/2 of the cheese.  Repeat with remaining tortillas, beef, mixture, and cheese.
• Bake at 350 for 15 min. or until heated through.

Tips:

• I made this Sunday, covered it with foil, then put it in the freezer.  Tonight we put it in the oven with the foil still on for 40 minutes then took the foil off and cooked for another 10 minutes.
• I topped mine with a little fat free sour cream.  YUM!
• Next time I'll also top with shredded lettuce and some salsa to make it even better!
