From sparow64 15 years ago

This layered mexican casserole is one of our favorites and often requested by friends. I sometimes throw in some leftover cooked chicken, too.

2 cups onion, chopped shopping list
1 1/2 cups Red, Green or yellow pepper, chopped (I like a mixture of red and yellow) shopping list
14 1/2 ounces tomatoes, canned, chopped, not drained shopping list
3/4 cup salsa shopping list
4 ounces jalapenos, chopped shopping list
4 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
1 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list
30 ounces kidney beans, black/red, drained shopping list
12 6 inch corn tortillas shopping list
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded shopping list
2 medium tomatoes, sliced shopping list
2 cups lettuce, shredded shopping list
1/8 cup green onion, sliced shopping list
1/8 cup black olives, sliced shopping list
1/2 cup sour cream, optional shopping list

In a large skilled, combine onion, green pepper, undrained tomatoes, salsa, jalapenos, garlic and cumin.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat.
Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Stir in beans
In a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish, spread 1/3 of the bean mixture over the
bottom of the pan.
Top with half of the tortillas, overlapping as necessary, and half of the cheese.
Add another 1/3 of the bean mixture, then remaining tortillas and bean mixture.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until
heated through.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and let stand 10 minutes.
Top with tomato slices, lettuce, green onion, and olives.
Cut into squares to serve.
Serve with sour cream.
