Shrimp Enchiladas Verde

(a delicious way to stretch 1 # of shrimp)  
(Serves 4-5)

1 # peeled, cooked shrimp, tails removed and cut into smaller pieces. (you can buy the uncooked shrimp, saute in butter and garlic)( Also can use chicken or turkey instead of shrimp.)
1 C. frozen corn
4 oz. can chopped green chilis, (not drained)
1  to 2 C. canned green enchilada sauce or  mild green salsa (depending on how saucy or spicy you like it)
15 oz. can of black OR pinto beans, rinsed and drained
8 corn tortillas OR 6 cooked flour tortillas
8 oz. shredded cheese (Mexican style, Mozzarella, Jack or Cheddar)
1/2 C. chopped fresh cilantro
Lime, cut into wedges

Coat 9 x 13 or dripper pan with cooking spray.
Combine  corn, chilis and 1/2 of enchilada sauce.  Microwave until heated through.  Add beans and shrimp.
Layer 1/2 of the tortillas onto the pan.  You may have to tear them to fit.  Top with the shrimp/bean mixture. Layer the rest of the tortillas.  Sprinkle cheese all over the top.  Cover with foil.  Bake at 300 - 325 for about 30 mins. until all ingredients are heated and cheese look bubbly.  Remove foil, top with cilantro.  Serve with lime wedges and ranch dressing if desired.
