This is adapted from this recipe and is a great vegetarian meal. If your family can't go meatless, it would also be great with chopped, grilled chicken added in.
1 pkg of frozen spinach, defrosted 
2 cups low fat cottage cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup shredded cheese
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups cooked black beans
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup corn kernels
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
3 Tbsp green onion, chopped
4-6 large tortillas
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese
(either Cheddar, Mexican blend or Monterey Jack are my suggestions)
Preheat the oven to 350°.
In a blender, process the spinach, cottage cheese, egg, first 1/4 cup of cheese, and garlic.
Stir in the beans, salsa, corn and the cilantro. (I added this all into the blender to save myself an extra bowl to clean)
Place one tortilla into a pie dish. Scoop about 1/2 cup mixture on top and spread it evenly. Cover with another tortilla and another 1/2 cup mixture. Continue until you have used all tortillas and all of the filling (ending with a tortilla on top). Arrange the tomato on top, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this, it looks wonderfully delicious! It also looks like a great meal to make ahead (w/o the baking) and freeze for those times when you need a quick meal. Have you tried freezing it, if so, how did it turn out?
Kendra - I actually made 2 of these this week and froze one. I freeze almost everything and have never had a problem - I'm sure this will turn out great, too!
