Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute onion and green pepper in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, chili powder, cumin and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in the black beans and pinto beans. Heat through.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg white, parsley and jalapeno. Spread a third of the bean mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with half of the cheddar cheese, tortillas and ricotta mixture. Repeat layers. Spread remaining bean mixture over top.
