Creating these delicious Mexican Stuffed Shells is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
2. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the jumbo shells and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Stuff the Shells: Gently fill each cooked pasta shell with the cheese and bean mixture. Use a spoon or piping bag for easier filling.
5. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread 1 cup of salsa on the bottom of a large baking dish. This will prevent the shells from sticking.
6. Arrange the Shells: Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish, open side up. Pour the remaining salsa over the top, ensuring even coverage.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the stuffed shells.
8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired before serving.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a fantastic dish that impresses with both taste and presentation!
