Black Bean & Cream Cheese Enchilada Casserole

Serves approximately 4-6
• 2 24 oz jars of spaghetti sauce (I use tomato & basil) and/or salsa.
• 1 package of whole wheat tortillas (or any other type/flavor tortillas)
• 2 cans of black beans
• 1 small can of corn
• 1 package of cream cheese (I use low fat)
• 1 package of shredded Mexican cheese (or another cheese you like)
• black olives for top (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 ºF.
  2. Cover the bottom of a 9 x 11 pan with spaghetti sauce and/or salsa.
  3. Drain the black beans and corn.
  4. Place the tortillas flat on your workspace. Usually about 7 tortillas will fit in a 9 x 11 pan. Spoon equal amounts of the beans and the corn down the center of each tortilla.
  5. Cut the cream cheese into slices and place on top of the beans and corn.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly; place the seam side down and put the tortillas side-by-side in the pan.
  7. If you have extra beans and corn, put them on top of the tortillas.
  8. Cover tortillas with another layer of spaghetti sauce and/or salsa.
  9. For the final layer, sprinkle cheese on top. Add sliced olives (optional).
  10. Bake for approximately 20-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
