Ingredients

• 2 cups Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin (ground)
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 cup Grated cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your choice)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a tart pan and gently press to fit. Trim any excess edges and use a fork to prick the bottom to prevent puffing. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the black beans to the skillet and gently mash them with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Spread the black bean mixture evenly over the pre-baked tart crust.

Step 7

Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the black bean layer, cut side up. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Place the tart in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
