📝 Instructions

16 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using), and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

5. Stir in the black beans, corn, and canned diced tomatoes with green chilies.

6. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine the mixture evenly.

7. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

8. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the filling thickens.

9. Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro.

10. Transfer the filling into a 9-inch pie dish and spread it out evenly.

11. Cover the filling with the refrigerated pie crust, tucking in the edges, and crimping if desired.

12. Cut a few small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.

13. Brush the crust with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.

14. Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

15. Remove from the oven and allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

16. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Vegetarian Tex Mex Pot Pie!
