Tortilla and Black Bean Pie
- 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno chile, minced (remove seeds and ribs for less heat)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 12 ounces beer, or 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
- 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Using a paring knife, trim the tortillas to fit a 9-inch springform pan, using the bottom of the pan as a guide.
- Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, and cumin; season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the beans and beer to the skillet, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium; simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the corn and scallions, and remove from the heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fit a trimmed tortilla in the bottom of the springform pan; layer with one quarter of the beans and 1/2 cup cheese.
- Repeat three times, using 1 cup cheese on the top layer.
- Bake until hot and the cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Unmold the pie; sprinkle with scallions.
- Slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
