    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat.

    Slice the jalapeño and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the can of black beans (drained and rinsed) and the can of corn (drained) to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

    Once the mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat.

    Take one tortilla and place it on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top, followed by a portion of the bean and corn mixture, and then another layer of cheese.

    7

    Top with a second tortilla and repeat the process, creating layers with the remaining tortillas, bean mixture, and cheese. Make sure the top layer is cheese.
