  4. In a medium bowl, mix black beans, corn and cilantro.
  5. Place 1 tortilla in baking dish and spread 1/4 of salsa mixture over tortilla. Top with 1/3 of bean mixture and 1/3 of cheese.

Notes

  • Try kidney or pinto beans instead of black beans.
  • Add leftover cooked chicken, turkey or ground beef.
  • Cook your own dry beans. One can (15 ounces) is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups drained beans.
  • Try using Food Hero salsa recipes provided by the Latinx workgroup: Salsa Roja and Salsa Verde.
