The only danger point in this recipe is the enchilada sauce- make sure you read these labels carefully because many of them contain wheat. I have found Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce to be gluten free.

GF Mexican Black Bean Lasagna

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 jalapeños, chopped
1 green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 15oz canned black beans, drained
1 cup frozen corn
2 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp lime juice
1 can red enchilada sauce (Old El Paso Red)
9 small corn tortillas
12 slices Muenster Cheese

Preheat the oven to 425*. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add jalapeños, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 8 more minutes. Then, stir in beans, corn, chili powder, and lime juice and allow to warm for 5-10 minutes.

Coat the bottom of a 9×13 metal pan with 1/4 of the enchilada sauce. Then, cover the bottom of the pan with 3 tortillas- tear one in half to best cover. Top the tortillas with another 1/4 of the enchilada sauce. Top the tortillas with 1/3 of the bean mixture, then with 4 slices of cheese (layer as evenly as possible). Repeat in a new layer, beginning with the tortillas, two more times.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

I built this corner of the internet after celiac entered our house and I realized I had to relearn how to cook from the ground up. Recipes I’d known by heart suddenly betrayed me, and my confidence in the kitchen disappeared overnight. Out of that season of crumbly experiments, small victories, and determination to make food that still felt like home, this site slowly grew. I wanted to share that journey with you so your table can feel normal, maybe even a little faster than mine did.
