This casserole is deliciously layered with beans, tomatoes, carrots, and onions between fluffy tortillas. It’s the perfect dish for a crowd or for having leftovers throughout the week.
2. In a pan, sautée onions, garlic, and carrots over medium heat until carrots are soft, using a little water if needed.
3. Add beans, tomato, tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt, chili peppers, and chili powder. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until somewhat thickened. Set aside.
4. Cover a 10’ round casserole baking dish with a layer of tortillas, then spoon a thick layer of the vegetable-bean mixture.
5. Lay another layer of tortillas on top of the vegetable mixture, then repeat, alternating tortillas and vegetable layers.
6. Top with a tortilla layer, spread cheese sauce and salsa, if using, and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
