Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and oil a 9-10 inch casserole dish.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté onion for 5-8 minutes until soft.

  3. Add garlic, scallions, and cumin, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Stir in black beans, tomato sauce, and salsa; lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then remove.

  5. Layer 4 tortillas in the prepared dish, trimming to fit if needed. Combine cheeses in a bowl, then sprinkle 1/3 over the tortillas.

  6. Spread half of the tomato-bean mixture over the cheese.

  7. Add another layer of 4 tortillas, 1/3 of the cheese, and the remaining bean mixture.

  8. Finish with the remaining tortillas, the rest of the cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking. Serve topped with desired accompaniments.
