Make Vegetarian Tortilla Pie

Mexican food is just behind Chinese in terms of our top favorite cuisines in this country, but when people think of Mexican, they often think of fatty, greasy food. This recipe is a refreshing version of a great Mexican dish.


Instructions


Low-Fat Veggie Tortilla Pie


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the refried beans with 1 cup of fresh salsa. Mix until well blended. Add remaining salsa, black beans, chopped tomatoes and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, cilantro and pepper). Mix until totally blended.


2. Place two tortillas on baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of mixture onto tortilla, covering it almost to the edge. Top with 1/4 cup of cheese.


3. Repeat Step 2 three more times until all tortillas and mixture are used. Sprinkle the top layer of tortillas with cheese.


4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese just begins to bubble.


5. Cut tortilla stack into wedges. Garnish with sour cream and cheddar cheese.
