Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated

  • 1 19-ounce can black beans, rinsed

  • 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained

  • 1 ½ cups corn

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 12 corn tortillas, quartered

  • 1 19-ounce can red enchilada sauce

  • 1 ¼ cups reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

  • To prepare, set the oven to 400°F to preheat and use cooking spray to coat a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  • Place a skillet over medium-high setting to heat oil. When the oil is heated, add the onion and stir to cook evenly for about 5 minutes or until the onions are just turning brown.

  • Add the zucchini, beans, tomatoes, corn, cumin, and salt to the skillet and stir for about 3 minutes or until the vegetables are heated.

  • In the baking pan, spread half of the tortilla quarters. Spread half the vegetable mixture, then half the enchilada sauce, then half the cheese over the tortillas.

  • Spread the rest of the tortillas then repeat with the remainder of the vegetable mix, sauce, and cheese.

  • Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Bake for another 10 minutes with the foil off, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
