Add the corn and the olives and stir some more

Cut up your tortillas into strips or triangles and lightly toast them in a pan with some oil.

Once your black bean mixture is mixed up and and hot, line the bottom of a round casserole dish with half the tortilla strips. As gently as possible spread the cream cheese on overtop the tortillas (it will be semi-difficult but don't worry if you end up smooshing the tortillas up some).

Add the black bean mixture, top with the rest of the tortillas and then put the cheese on top.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Take off the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until it's lightly brown on top.

Serve and enjyo :)
