- Drain one can of seasoned beans, and spread out over the tortillas.
- Spread out half of the frozen roasted corn.
- Spread out 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
- Scatter ½ of the canned green chilies and a little chopped cilantro.
- Then repeat with another can of drained seasoned beans (or substitute cooked chicken, chorizo or ground meat).
- Top with rest of the corn, the cheese, the chilies and cilantro.
- Drizzle with rest of the sauce and top with 4 more tortillas.
- Spread the remaining sauce over the tortillas.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake 10 more minutes, adding more cheese if you want so it melts.
- Garnish with diced avocado, cilantro and sour cream.
