1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
½ cup celery, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
