Instructions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a bowl toss together beans, corn, and onion. In another bowl toss together cheeses. Put 3 tortillas in one layer on a large heavy baking sheet. Sprinkle each tortilla with about 1/3 cup bean mixture and about 1/3 cup cheese mixture and top with a second tortilla. Make 2 more layers on each tortilla in same manner with remaining bean mixture, cheeses, and tortillas, gently pressing each layer down and ending with a fourth tortilla on top of the cake. Tortilla cakes may be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead and chilled, wrapped well in plastic wrap.

In a small bowl stir together oil and cayenne and lightly brush mixture over top of the cake. Bake the cake in middle of oven until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cut cake into wedges and serve immediately.
