1 large clove garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or red pepper flakes to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 quart undrained, canned tomatoes
1 teaspoon oregano

1/3 cup sliced olives

Recipe
Heat oil in a 2-quart pot and sauté onions, garlic and hot pepper for 3 minutes to soften. Add cayenne and chili powder and cook briefly. Add tomatoes, oregano, and cumin, and bring to a boil. Add pasta and corn and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, until pasta is just tender. Stir in beans and olives.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Transfer bean mixture to a shallow 2-quart casserole. Top with tacos and cheese. Bake 10 minutes to melt cheese.
NOTE - If casserole is assembled in advance of baking and chilled, increase baking time to approximately 20 minutes, or until heated through.
