Інгредієнти

2 red bell peppers

1/2 red onion

2 cups frozen corn

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoon cumin

Напрямки

Prepare the veggies

Dice the peppers and mince the onions.

Heat a large nonstick skillet with a little bit of oil over high heat. Add the onion and peppers, sprinkle with half the chili and cumin, and stir, rest, stir, rest until you get a nice browning on the outside of the peppers. Remove and set aside.

Repeat the roasting process with the corn, sprinkling with chili and cumin, removing from the heat when browned and roasted on the outside. Sprinkle the roasted veggies with salt and toss to coat.

Prep the casserole

Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the tortillas into thin strips. Put the refried beans in a bowl and mix with a little bit of water to make them easier to spread.

Assemble

Spread a little bit of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Layer in order: half of the tortilla strips, ALL the beans, half of the veggies, half of the sauce, half of the cheese. Cover with the other half of the tortilla strips, veggies, sauce, and cheese.

Bake

Cover with foil (I usually spray mine with cooking spray) and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.

Serve with guacamole, fresh cilantro, and sour cream.
