Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F. Spray a 9-by-11-inch metal baking pan or ceramic baking dish with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno if using. Cook until softened, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and continue cooking for 30 seconds. Stir in salt.
- Add spinach, corn, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Stir well to combine. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in lime juice and pinto beans.
- While vegetable mixture is cooking, cover the bottom of the baking pan with half of the tortillas – feel free to tear them to cover the bottom completely.
- Spoon half of the vegetable mixture over the top, then sprinkle half of the cheese over that.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas, then the remaining vegetable mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into pieces and serve warm.
