Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.

Heat the oil in large skillet. Add the tortillas and cook, flipping a few times, until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs and transfer to a paper towel to drain.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cayenne. Cook 30 seconds. Add the pork and 1/4 tsp salt and cook. Break up the meat until browned. Stir in the tomatoes, chiles and corn. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro.

Arrange half of the tortillas in the bottom of a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Top with half of the meat mixture, then half of the cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas, meat and cheese.

Cover loosely with foil and bake until cheese melts - 10-15 minutes.
