How dinner comes together
Heat the oven to 400°F. Dice the bell pepper and lightly oil the baking dish.
Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high. Cook the bell pepper and corn until lightly browned, 4 minutes; add the spinach and stir just until wilted.
Stir the black beans, cumin and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the vegetables. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
Spread 1/2 cup sauce in the dish. Divide the tortillas into three equal stacks. Layer one stack, one-third of the bean filling, one-third of the remaining sauce and one-third of the cheese; repeat twice, tearing tortillas to cover gaps.
Bake uncovered until the sauce bubbles at the edges and the cheese is melted with golden spots, 18–20 minutes.
Rest the bake for 5 minutes so the layers set, then cut it into the planned number of portions.
