Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large onions chopped
  • 1 head garlic
  • Mexican seasoning of choice such as smoked paprika, cumin & chili powder
  • 2 15 oz cans black beans rinsed & drained
  • 1 10 oz package frozen corn
  • 1 package cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1 package flour tortillas
  • 1/2 container sour cream
  • 2 limes
  • Sea salt
  • Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Caramelized onions: Place chopped onions on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast at 425°F for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and caramelized.
  • Roasted garlic: Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt, wrap in foil and cook alongside the onions for 15-20 minutes until soft.
  • Lime Sour Cream: In a bowl, mix together 1/2 container of sour cream, zest and juice of 2 limes, and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic onto a cutting board and smash into a paste. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and dry spices. Stir for 30 seconds. Add the smashed garlic, caramelized onion, black beans, and corn. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro or parsley.
  • In a springform pan, layer flour tortillas with the black bean and corn mixture, cheddar cheese, and repeat until you reach the top of the pan. The final layer should be a tortilla topped with cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until heated through and browned on top. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the springform pan. Cut into wedges and drizzle with lime sour cream. Add optional toppings like avocado, tomato, scallions, and more lime sour cream, cilantro or parsley.
