Description

A basic everyday recipe.

Ingredients

  • 12 Corn tortillas
  • 1can (19 oz) enchilada sauce (I use Old ElPaso mild)
  • 2c cooked black beans
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated
  • 8oz reduced fat colby cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Pour sauce into medium saucepan and heat on low, add tortillas.

2. One by one, remove tortillas with tongs, making sure they are coated with sauce. Line bottom of 9x13 pan with 6 overlapping tortillas, working quickly so the tortillas don't get too soft.

3. Top with beans, zucchini, and 2/3 cheese

4. Add another layer of six overlapping tortillas, pour remaining enchilada sauce over casserole, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

5. Bake 15-20 minutes in 350 degree oven, to warm through and melt cheese.

Optional fancy fillings:


sliced olives (canned or fresh)


chiles (canned or fresh)


chopped onion


chopped bell pepper

Possible substitutions:


Instead of, or in addition to beans, use 3/4 lb. ground beef, shredded pork, shredded chicken, etc.


Instead of, or in addition to zucchini, use shredded carrot or cabbage, corn
