Friday- Tortilla Pie

Adapted from recipe submitted to Allrecipes.com by KDCG

Chef’s Notes: This dish is the one that broke SmithCale. He finally caught on to my meatless-ness. I really didn’t mean to make so many dishes that were light on meat, but I wanted to use up what we had. I really like this, but of course it has my favorite things: beans!

Plan of Attack:

1. Create bean layers

2. Layer and bake

Ingredients for 6:

Pinto bean layer-

1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

2/3 C salsa

1 clove garlic, diced

Black bean layer-

1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 Tsbp cilantro flakes

1 tomato, chopped

1/3 C salsa

3 whole wheat tortillas

1 C shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. In a large bowl mash pinto beans, and add salsa and garlic
3. In another bowl add black beans, tomato, cilantro and remaining salsa
4. In a pie plate sprayed with cooking spray, place a tortilla and top with 2/3 of pinto bean mixture and cheese. Layer with another tortilla and top with 2/3 black bean mixture and more cheese
5. Repeat until all mixtures are used, ending with a bean mixture and the last of the cheese
6. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes
7. Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa
8. Enjoy!
