Ingredients

• box of pasta shells
• 15 oz can of corn
• 1 cup of black beans
• 1/2 cup of green onions
• handful of cilantro
• 1/2 cup of green peppers
• 1 cup of enchilada sauce
• 200g of cheese
• 1 ancho chili pepper

First – gather all of your ingredients. You can either use store enchilada sauce or you can make your own – my homemade enchilada sauce recipe is delicious!

Cook the pasta until firm. Don’t cook it too long.

While the pasta is cooking, chop the green onions, cilantro, and peppers. Shred the cheese.

When the pasta is finished, drain it. Then, in the same pot, top the pasta with all of the ingredients, except the cheese. Stir well.

Once it’s well combined, add in the cheese last.

Put into a oven dish and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. I stuffed mine so tightly that the pasta stuck to the top of the lid! Those pieces were a bit crunchy, yet still so good.

That’s it. Serve and top with a bit of cilantro and you’re done.
