Quesadilla Casserole

Serves 4

This is a perfect dish to prepare in advance. Just pop it in the oven before serving!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 can black beans (29 ounces), drained, 1/2 cup liquid reserved, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 5 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup store-bought green enchilada sauce

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400˚F.
  2. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add half of the beans and mash into a chunky paste. Stir in the reserved liquid.
  3. Grease a heavy, ovenproof skillet. In a bowl, combine the corn, parsley and remaining black beans. Place a tortilla in the skillet and spread with 1/3 cup of the mashed black bean mixture. Top with 2/3 cup of the corn-bean mixture and 1/2 cup cheese. Press to compress the layers. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, mashed black beans, corn-bean mixture and cheese.
  4. Bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, about 30 minutes. Transfer to the broiler and cook for 1 minute. Serve with the enchilada sauce.
