TORTILLA AND BLACK BEAN PIE
This is so good, and different from other tortilla pies because it does not have tomatoes in it. I made it several times last summer while sweet corn was in season. If you want, top the finished pie with salsa, sour cream, or any other typical taco or burrito ingredients you want. I like it just the way it is. From Everyday Food Issue #6. The original recipe calls for a 9 inch springform pan, which allows the pie to be released when it's done, but I just use a round cake pan and serve it straight from the pan.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the vegetables.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the vegetables by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they cook evenly.
- You can use any type of beans you like in this recipe. Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
- If you don't have any canned beans, you can cook your own. Just be sure to soak the beans overnight before cooking them.
- Use a large skillet to cook the vegetables and beans. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking to the pan.
- Cook the vegetables and beans until they are tender. This will usually take about 10 minutes.
- Once the vegetables and beans are cooked, stir in the salsa, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour the bean mixture into the prepared tortilla shells. Top with cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the tortilla bean pies immediately.
