How to Make Black Bean Tortilla Pie

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup frozen corn and 2 green onions, thinly sliced.
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  9. Place one 6-inch flour tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  10. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the black bean mixture evenly over the tortilla.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Repeat layers twice more (tortilla, bean mixture, cheese).
  13. Top with the remaining tortilla.
  14. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet.
  15. Bake, uncovered, at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  16. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing the sides of the pan.
  17. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  18. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
