Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Small flour tortillas
- 1 cup (drained and rinsed) Canned black beans
- 1 cup (drained) Canned corn kernels
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado slices, hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave (about 10–15 seconds) to make them pliable. Cut each tortilla into quarters.
Layer two overlapping tortilla quarters in each muffin tin cup to form a sturdy base for the pies.
In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Spoon the bean and corn mixture evenly into the prepared tortilla cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Top each tortilla pie with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla edges are golden brown.
Remove the tortilla pies from the muffin tin and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and optional toppings like sour cream, avocado slices, or hot sauce before serving.
