Ingredients

• 2 cups chunky tomato sauce
• 2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 5 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In an 8-by-8-inch baking dish, cover the bottom with 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Mix remaining sauce and black beans together. Place one tortilla in the dish (you might need to fold the edges around the dish). Place 1/4 of the bean mixture on top of the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Repeat layers, ending with a tortilla and the remaining cheese on top. Cover and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle diced green onions on top and serve.
