flour tortillas

1 can red enchilada sauce

1 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Into a 13 x 9 dish, layer shredded pork, black beans, cooked rice, flour tortillas.  Divide your ingredients into thirds so you can make 3 layers, starting with pork on the bottom, and ending with tortillas on top for each layer.
