Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper
1 cup medium salsa
1 cup corn kernel (frozen or drained canned )
1/3 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
2 (10 oz) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
10 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded medium cheddar

Directions:

Remove sausage from casings and crumble into medium skillet; add onion and garlic; cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until meat is no longer pink.
Slice 3 thin rings from bottom of red pepper, set aside to garnish; chop remainder of pepper and stir into sausage.
Add salsa, corn and cilantro; set aside.
Squeeze excess moisture from spinach; toss with parmesan cheese, pepper and mozzarella cheese.
Place one tortilla on lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet; spread generously 2/3 cup sausage mixture and top with 1/3 cup cheddar cheese; cover with another tortilla.
Distribute generously 1 cup spinach mixture on tortilla; repeat layers ending with a tortilla.
Press down lightly.
Cover loosely with foil; bake in 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup (75 mL) cheddar cheese and red pepper rings; continue to bake for 10 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
Serve with additional salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
Note; Make fillings ahead of time and refrigerate; assemble and bake just before serving.
Bake for a few minutes extra if cold.
