10 corn tortillas (6 1/2 or 7 in.)
2 cups canned diced tomatoes with juice (no salt added)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 cup (about 2 oz.) stemmed, seeded, and chopped fresh jalapeno chilies
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
3/4 cup sliced green onions
1 can (15 oz.) reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

1
In a lightly oiled shallow 3 1/2- to 4-quart casserole, arrange 4 tortillas so they cover the bottom. Stack remaining tortillas and cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips; set aside. Mix tomatoes and juice with chili powder and cumin. Pour over whole tortillas. Top tomatoes with corn, then jalapenos, bell pepper, 1/2 cup onions, beans, and cilantro. Cover with 1/2 cup water.
2
Arrange tortilla strips evenly over filling, then sprinkle with cheese. Cover casserole with foil. Bake in a 400u00b0 oven until hot, about 20 minutes. Uncover casserole and bake until cheese is completely melted, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with remaining green onions just before serving.
