Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the red enchilada sauce with El Pato jalapeño sauce.
  3. Spread ½ cup of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the casserole dish. Layer 6-8 corn tortillas on top.
  4. Pour 1 cup of the sauce over the tortillas, followed by half of the black beans, corn, red and green bell peppers, and a third of the cheese.
  5. Repeat layering with another set of tortillas, more sauce, remaining black beans, corn, bell peppers, and two-thirds of the cheese.
  6. Add a final layer of tortillas, pour remaining sauce and sprinkle the last of the cheese on top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are bubbly.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes, garnish with cilantro and green onions, then serve.
