    • 🌽 1 (15 ounce) can sweet whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed

  • Canned Ingredients

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

4

Stir in beans, picante sauce, water, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika. Mash beans using the back of a spoon or a potato masher until mixture is slightly thickened. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, undisturbed, until sauce thickens and bubbles appear all over the surface, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in corn.

5

Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with tomato, Monterey Jack cheese and Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is hot and cheeses are melted, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions.

7

Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, warm tortillas, or tortilla chips, if desired.
