Spoon the rice over the tortillas, spread the tomato mixture over the rice, then sprinkle the corn over the tomatoes. Next, add the chicken and bean mixture, then sprinkle on half the cheese and pour over half the enchilada sauce. Next, add the rest of the tortillas, then pour on the rest of the salsa verde and the rest of the enchilada sauce and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.

• Bake the casserole for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. Let stand for a minute or two, then cut into squares or wedges to serve. Pass the salsa and optional sour cream for topping.
• variation
• For the optional vegetable layer, use either 10 to 12 ounces lightly steamed and well-drained baby spinach or lightly sautéed thin slices of zucchini and/or yellow summer squash; you'll need two medium squashes for this.
• menu suggestions
• If you're not making the optional squash layer in the casserole, Zucchini and Summer Squash Sauté (page 209) is a good side dish with this meal. If you want the meal to be more substantial, cook some quinoa while the casserole is in the oven. Add some curly lettuce and cherry or grape tomatoes to garnish the plate.
• Serve with microwaved white or sweet potatoes and Creole Coleslaw (page 178). Or, to keep this meal as easy as possible, serve with a simple green salad rather than the slaw.
