Black Bean Stacks

This is a great meatless recipe option and is really versatile....just throw in what you have on hand or what sounds good to you!

1 Tbsp. oil
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, diced
1/2 tsp. cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small can diced green chilies
1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup cilantro
Corn tortillas
Shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat oil in skillet.  Add onion, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and cook until onions soften.  Then add black beans, green chilies, taco seasoning, water, corn and cilantro.  Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until most of the moisture has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes.

Warm up six corn tortillas in microwave.  Place a corn tortilla on the bottom of cookie sheet, add 1/6 of bean mixture and top with cheese.  Repeat adding a corn tortilla and bean mixture until you have used 3 corn tortillas and 3 levels of bean mixture ending with cheese on top.  Makes 2 stacks.

Top with cilantro, avocado, salsa, sour cream....whatever your heart desires!!
