Ingredients

  • 4 corn tortillas small
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1-2 cups black beans
  • ½ cup enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 4 TBSP salsa verde homemade or store bought
  • 1 Roma tomato diced
  • 1 TBSP green onion chopped
  • 3-4 oz cheese shredded
  • taco sauce for topping
  • sour cream or greek yogurt, for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prep a bake-able glass bowl with a thin layer of sauce to prevent sticking.
  3. With a tortilla in one hand an a butter knife in the other, spread a thick layer of refried beans onto the corn tortilla.
  4. Top with black beans, green salsa, more enchilada sauce, and then place inside your baking bowl or dish. This will be your first layer.
  5. Repeat this step for the next two layers. If you're going the T-Rex route or need a cheese fix, top the bean-y goodness with [cooked] meat &/or cheese and repeat. This not only makes fabulous leftovers but is a great way to use up leftovers you may have creeping around in your fridge!
  6. Each layer will be more of the same until you reach the final tortilla.
  7. Pretty it up with a splash of color! Add diced tomatoes, jalapenos, shredded colby jack cheese and all your favorite toppings.
  8. Bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes and then top with additional tomato, and chopped green onions for an extra burst of color. It doesn't need it, but a dollop of sour cream [or greek yogurt!] takes this baby to the next level. Yum!
