This pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Aztec Pie turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This was a fun recipe to try! I'd never made a cornbread crust before, but it was surprisingly easy. The pie was a bit on the spicy side for my taste, but everyone else loved it.

Really enjoyed this recipe! The cornbread crust was a nice twist on the traditional pie crust, and the filling was delicious. I used black beans instead of pinto beans, and it worked out well.
