Easy as Pie! Tortilla Pie!

Well I wanted to make something super easy and quick today. Had a bunch of leftover tortilla shells from tacos the other day and froze them. So this worked out well!!!


Tortilla Pie:

2 tsp. oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. chili powder
1 can black beans or kidney beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 c. corn meal(or you can use corn kernels, I didn't have any otherwise I would have)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
6-9 corn tortillas

Heat oil in a large frying pan, add onions and peppers and sautee about 3 minutes, add garlic and sautee until soft.


Add the spices and cook for about one minute


Add the beans and tomatoes and cornmeal, simmer for about 10 minutes or until cornmeal is tender. Make sure to taste and add some salt or more chili or you can add jalapeños if you like it a little spicier!


While bean mixture is simmering heat a cast iron skillet and heat up the tortillas until a little black on each side.

Set three in the bottom of a pie pan and put half the bean mixture and 1/3 of the cheese and some sour cream or plain yogurt on the tortillas, repeat the layers and add the last three shells on top.





Finish with cheese and put into the oven for about 20-30 minutes until the cheese is all melty.


Eat and enjoy!
