Total Time: 1 hour;  Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup prepared salsa
• 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (14.5 oz) can no salt-added petite diced tomatoes (or chop regular dice)
• 1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 package 8” whole wheat flour tortillas
• 1 cup frozen corn, defrosted
• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups (1 8 oz package) pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese
• ½ cup green onions, sliced thin
• 1-1/2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 package taco seasoning mix
• Cooking spray
• Sour cream (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.

Prepare ground beef with the taco seasoning mix according to package directions, set aside.  Combine first four ingredients in a small bowl then spread about 2/3 cup into the bottom of a 9” x 13” baking dish coated with cooking spray.  Cut the flour tortilla and cover to the edges of the dish as closely as possible (cut the round edge off one side and the straight edge goes against the side of the pan).  Top tortilla with ½ of the corn, half of the beans and half of the prepared ground beef.  Sprinkle with ½ cup cheese and top with 2/3 cup sauce.  Repeat layers once, ending with a layer of tortilla on the top and spread the remaining sauce over the tortilla, sprinkle with cheese.

Cover and bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, then remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes, covered.  Sprinkle with green onion and serve wedges topped with sour cream or on its own.
