Instructions

Step 1

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a large frying pan, cook ground beef until browned. Drain fat and add salt, garlic powder, and salsa. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Add a can of black beans (do not drain) and corn (drained if canned) to the meat mixture.

Step 3

Cook meat mixture over low heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Using a baking dish, layer a couple of tortillas on bottom, then top with half the meat mixture. Add half the ricotta cheese in dollops over the meat mixture. Carefully spread out the ricotta cheese. Place another 2 tortillas on top. Repeat the layer with meat mixture, ricotta cheese, and another 2 tortillas and cover with Mexican cheese mix.

Step 5

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Add sliced avocado and cilantro, and serve with cilantro lime creme.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients, except the salt. After mixing, season with salt and taste to determine if more salt is needed. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
