Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
- 1 Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare your pie dish by fitting the pie crust into the dish. Trim any excess edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the black beans to the skillet, followed by cumin powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, cooking for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Mix in the chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, and chipotle hot sauce (if using). Remove the skillet from heat.
Spoon the black bean mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Garnish with additional cilantro, a lime wedge, or a drizzle of sour cream.
