Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups cooked black beans
• 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
• 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
• 1 piece yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned, drained)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish or an oven-safe skillet (about 9 inches in diameter) with a small drizzle of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Place one tortilla at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a layer of the bean and vegetable mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process with the remaining tortillas, bean mixture, and cheese, finishing the top layer with a generous amount of cheese.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the tortilla pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Slice into wedges and serve warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side.
