Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.

Place beans, onions, cumin and chili powder in a small pot. Stir together and cook for 3-5 minutes until warm.

In a separate bowl, mix the enchilada sauce and salsa together.

Pour a little sauce at the bottom of the baking dish then add a layer of tortillas. Spoon in a layer of the bean mixture, followed by corn, sauce mixture and cheese. Repeat one more layer, followed by a final layer of tortillas. Top the last layer of tortillas with enchilada/salsa mixture, cheese and pickled jalapenos.

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes.

Top with chopped green onions, sliced avocados and sour cream.
