Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced sweet onion
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
3 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
18 corn tortillas
1 cup enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapenos, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add salsa, black beans, corn, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a simmer; let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Combine 2 cups pepper Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Place 6 corn tortillas in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add 1/2 of the vegetable mixture using a slotted spoon, followed by 1/2 of the cheese and spinach mixture. Add a layer of 6 tortillas and follow with remaining vegetables and remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining tortillas. Spread enchilada sauce across the top and remaining pepper Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
