    Recipe Introduction


    Looks like a pie, cuts like a pie, and tastes like a little bit of Southwestern heaven. This casserole is made from pinto and black beans layered with tortillas and cheese. Picante sauce gives it just the right kick. You can replace the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack if you like.

    List of Ingredients




    Prep Time: 15 Minutes
    Cook Time: 40 Minutes
    Ready In: 55 Minutes
    Makes 6 servings
    2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
    1 cup salsa, divided
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
    7 (8 inch) flour tortillas
    2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
    1 cup salsa
    1/2 cup sour cream

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

    2. In a large bowl, mash pinto beans. Stir in 3/4 cup salsa and garlic.

    3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup salsa, cilantro, black beans and tomatoes.

    4. Place 1 tortilla in a pie plate or tart dish. Spread 3/4 cup pinto bean mixture over tortilla to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with 1/4 cup cheese, and cover with another tortilla. Spread with 2/3 cup black bean mixture, and top with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layering twice. Cover with remaining tortilla, and spread with remaining pinto bean mixture and cheese.

    5. Cover with foil, and bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve with salsa and sour cream.
