Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained pinto beans, black beans, corn, chopped green chilies, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper. Mix well.
  3. Spread a thin layer of salsa on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Place a single layer of flour tortillas over the salsa, cutting them to fit if necessary.
  5. Spread half of the bean and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortillas.
  6. Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack cheese and half of the Cheddar cheese over the filling.
  7. Repeat the layers: add another layer of tortillas, the remaining bean mixture, and the remaining cheeses.
  8. Top with a final layer of tortillas and cover with a generous amount of salsa.
  9. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the tortilla edges are slightly crispy.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
