3. Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Overlap 6 corn tortillas to create a layer. Spread half each of the black bean mixture and ricotta mixture evenly over tortillas. Top with half of the Mexicorn, half the chicken and 1 cup shredded cheese. Top with 1/2 cup enchilada sauce.

4. Add 6 more tortillas; top with 1/4 cup enchilada sauce. Repeat layering the black bean mixture, ricotta mixture, Mexicorn, chicken and 1 cup shredded cheese. Top with 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and last 6 tortillas. Spread with remaining enchilada sauce; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded cheese.

5. Cover with foil; bake at 400 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
