  2. Open and drain the black beans. Open the can of green chilies.

Add half of the beef and bean mixture, in a single layer onto the corn tortillas. Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded Pepper Jack cheese over the beef mixture.
  5. Add another single layer of corn tortillas, followed by the remaining beef mixture, then sprinkle 1/3 of shredded Pepper Jack cheese over the top.
