BLACK BEAN TORTILLA PIE
I found this southwestern entree a while ago but decreased the cheese and increased the herbs originally called for. It's one of my toddler's favorite meals. She always smiles when she sees it on the table. -Wendy Kelly, Petersburg, New York

VEGETARIAN LAYERED TORTILLA CASSEROLE
This tortilla casserole is packed with sautéed veggies - onions, red pepper, corn, and zucchini - beans, herbs, and Monterey Jack cheese, all combining to make a super flavorful vegetarian dinner. Homemade enchilada sauce is optional...but: it takes 15 minutes to make, and it is so, so tasty. This is an assembly that lends itself well to improvisation - use what you have on hand: mushrooms, Swiss chard, kale, eggplant would all work well here.

Steps:
- In a large sauté pan over high heat, add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When it shimmers, immediately add the diced onions and bell peppers. Season with a pinch of salt. Turn heat down to medium. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often to ensure the vegetables are not burning. When the vegetables are soft, add the zucchini, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, just until the zucchini loses its rawness. Finally, add the corn, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for a minute more. Turn off the heat.
- Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Taste. Season with salt to taste.
- Heat the oven to 425ºF. Coat the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of the enchilada sauce (roughly 3/4 cup). Arrange a single layer of tortillas over sauce, trimming edges to fit.
- Scatter a handful each of cilantro and scallions over the tortillas. Spoon a layer of the vegetable-bean mixture over top. Sprinkle a layer of cheese over top. Spoon a layer of sauce over top and use the back of a spoon to spread it out. Repeat the layering: tortillas, herbs, veg+beans, cheese, sauce, until you have three (or four if you wish) layers of tortillas.
- Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the final layer of tortillas. Scatter a final layer of herbs over top. Add a final layer of cheese.
- Bake enchiladas in the middle or top rack of oven until the cheese topping bubbles and browns in spots, 15-25 minutes. Garnish with more fresh cilantro and scallions if you wish. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
SEVEN LAYER TORTILLA PIE
Looks like a pie, cuts like a pie, and tastes like a little bit of Southwestern heaven. This casserole is made from pinto and black beans layered with tortillas and cheese. Picante sauce gives it just the right kick. You can replace the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack if you like.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your tortilla pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables won't cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tortilla pie. Look for a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be rubbery and tough. Cook the eggs until they are just set, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Let the tortilla pie cool slightly before serving. This will help it hold its shape when you cut it.
Conclusion:
Tortilla pie is a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian dish. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a potluck or party. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
