Recently I checked the McDougall Program for a Healthy Heart out from the
library and have made several recipes from it. This is a fairly hearty
dish which my family enjoyed. I used mild Pace Picante Sauce instead of
enchilada sauce.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup water
1 each onion -- chopped
1 each green bell pepper -- chopped
1 clove garlic -- minced
15 ounces kidney beans, canned -- drained and rinsed
15 ounces black beans, canned -- drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
4 ounces chopped green chiles
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 cups enchilada sauce
12 each corn tortillas (soft)
4 each green onions -- finely chopped
Place the water in a large pan with the onion, green pepper, and garlic.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5
minutes. Add the beans, corn, rice, tomato sauce, chilies, chili powder,
and cumin. Stir to mix, then cook over low heat until warmed through,
about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Pour about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13 x
9-inch casserole dish and spread evenly over the bottom. Pour the rest of
the enchilada sauce into a bowl. Dip 4 of the tortillas, one at a time,
into the enchilada sauce, then layer them in the bottom of the casserole
dish. Spread half of the bean mixture over the tortillas. Repeat with the
next 4 tortillas and the remaining mixture. Finish with the last 4
tortillas. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and spread
evenly. Sprinkle with the chopped green onion. Cover and bake for 40
minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with salsa to spoon over the top, if desired.
