Instructions
Add the black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, and cumin. Set aside. Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Line the bottom with a layer of tortillas (you may cut some of them to fit). Make sure you cover the entire bottom of the pan.
Combine the refried beans and salsa and heat until bubbly.
Spread half of them evenly over the tortillas. Cover the refried beans with half of the black bean mixture.
Add another layer of tortillas and repeat the layers of refried beans and black beans. Cover with a final layer of tortillas, pour the enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with black olives (if desired). Cover and bake for about 30 minutes or until hot throughout. It will be easier to cut if you allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
