instructions
- Make filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cheese, beans, spinach, corn, scallion whites, 1 teaspoon cumin and 2 teaspoons chili powder.
- Make sauce: In a medium sauce pan, heat oil over medium. Add 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons chili powder, flour, and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute, whisking. Whisk in broth and ¾ cup water, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened (5-10 minutes). Season with ground pepper and set aside.
