Mexican lasagna... 45 minutes



the goods:

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bag (10 ounces) frozen corn
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
reserved cooked black beans (or 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained)

Top with half the bean mixture and 1/2 cup salsa, then sprinkle with one-third the cheese.
