- 1/2 cup onion finely diced
- 3/4 cup green bell pepper chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 14 ounce can diced tomatoes drained
- 1/2 cup corn kernels fresh, thawed from frozen, or canned

- 10 ounce can Red Enchilada Sauce divided use
- 12 flour tortillas 8 inch size
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided use
- cooking spray

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, for 4-5 minutes.
- Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Stir in the taco seasoning until the meat and onions are thoroughly coated.
- Add the diced tomatoes and corn to the pan, then stir to mix everything together.
- Add the can of refried beans. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
- Cut the tortillas in half, and layer 6 tortilla halves to fit in the dish. Spread 1/3 of the enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Spread 1/3 of the bean and meat mixture over the cheese.
- Repeat the layers, ending with layers of tortillas, enchilada sauce, and the remaining cheese.
- Cover and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
- Let sit for 5-7 minutes. Add any desired toppings, then cut into squares and serve.
