Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus more for frying tortillas
- 6 8- inch flour tortillas*
- 1 pound ground beef**
- 1 medium onion any color, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Jalapeno pepper minced, seeds removed for less heat
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes or about 1 ½ cups fresh
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans drained and rinsed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups corn kernels fresh (from about 1 to 2 ears) or frozen (defrosted)
- 3 cups spinach leaves about 3 ounces, roughly chopped
- 8 ounces grated Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese I used pepper jack for additional heat
- Chopped fresh cilantro and/or scallions for garnish optional
- sour cream and/or salsa and/or guacamole for serving optional
Notes
- * Corn tortillas may be substituted for the flour, just be sure they're as close to 8-inches wide as possible. If they're not, make two cakes with smaller tortillas using 4 in each (8 total).
- **This recipe can be made totally vegetarian by omitting the ground beef and adding in one additional can of beans instead.
- *** Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through. Leftovers reheat beautifully and are great for breakfast with a fried egg and plenty of hot sauce.
