Southwest Layered Tortilla Pie
Ingredients
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 7 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
In a large container, crush pinto beans using a fork or masher until they're smooth. Combine the mashed beans with 3/4 cup of a spicy tomato-based sauce and minced garlic.
3
In another container, blend together 1/4 cup of the same spicy tomato-based sauce, chopped cilantro, black beans, and diced tomatoes.
4
Place a single tortilla in a circular baking dish. Spread the pinto bean mixture evenly, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges. Add a layer of cheese on top, followed by another tortilla to act as a lid. Spread the black bean mixture over this layer, topping it with another 1/4 cup of cheese. Repeat the process two more times, finishing with a layer of pinto bean mixture and cheese on top. Cover the entire dish with the final tortilla.
5
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut into wedges, and serve with a side of spicy tomato-based sauce and a dollop of sour cream.
