Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 4 flour tortillas (medium size)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or plant-based alternative)
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup sour cream or plant-based alternative (for serving)
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

Grease a 9-inch pie pan or oven-safe dish with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.

Step 6

Place one flour tortilla on the bottom of the pan. Spread a thin layer of the black bean mixture over the tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process (tortilla, black bean mixture, cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with a tortilla topped with cheese.

Step 8

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the taco pie to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve with sour cream, salsa, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
