  • Add black beans, corn and enchilada sauce, cover and simmer foran additional  5-8 minutes until ingredients are well-melded together. Stir in spinach until wilted. 
  • Add tortilla strips and bring to boil. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes or more, until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before sprinkling with your favorite toppings and serving.
