Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup low-fat refried beans
- 1 cup diced canned tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- as needed olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish or a springform pan with olive oil cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the black beans, corn, ground cumin, paprika, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions. Stir to combine and set aside.
Place one tortilla in the bottom of the baking dish as the base layer.
Spread 1/4 cup of the refried beans evenly over the tortilla. Layer with 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the black bean and corn mixture, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining tortillas, beans, tomatoes, black bean mixture, and cheese until all the ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on the top layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top layer of cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra cilantro or green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your light and tasty layered tortilla pie!
