"Often, I am at my most creative when I am faced with food that is about to go bad. Such is the case here, where I used a combination of things in my pantry and tortillas just past their date to create a casserole that satisfies. Not remotely authentic to anything related to Mexico, it's still a pretty tasty dish. This does come out with a bit more liquid than I would have liked, but letting it stand before cutting and serving helped a great deal. *As of May 2013 I have edited this recipe for a better outcome (added fresh avocado, rearranged the layers)."

Lay two tortillas in bottom of prepared casserole (overlapping to cover bottom and slightly up sides); spread stewed tomatoes over tortillas, scatter beans over tomatoes, spread with 1/2 cup sauce.

Step 4

Lay two more tortillas; spread refried beans over tortillas, lay avocado slices over refried beans, scatter corn over avocado, scatter 1 1/2 cups cheese over corn, spread one cup of sauce over cheese.

Lay remaining two tortillas over sauce; spread remaining sauce over tortillas, covering entire top of casserole.

Step 6

Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Scatter remaining cheese over top; spread 1/2 cup salsa over cheese; bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
