Tortilla Pie


This was another 'Use what ya got' meal...we had fajitas a few nights before so I had all these ingredients left to make a tortilla pie.
You will need:
Chicken breast cubed (or steak and shrimp work too)

4-5 flour tortillas (I used four but will added one more next time)

1/2 cup refried beans

1 can black beans

1 plum tomato

1/2 corn

1/3 cup fresh cilantro (can omit if you don't have it)

1 small white or red onion diced

1/2 cup fat free cheese (or whatever you have)

1 round baking pan (the kind for cakes) or a spring form pan)

Pre heat oven to 350

In a non stick pan add some cooking spray or one tablespoon of olive oil and add diced chicken and onion cook until chicken is cook through

Remove chicken from pan and let cool, then dice the chicken in smaller pieces so all the vegetables and chicken are close to the same size, this will be easier to keep ingredients inside pie.

In the same pan add black beans, tomato, cilantro and corn and cook for about 3-5 minutes, add chicken and onions back to pan and turn off heat.

Spray bottom of baking pan

Spread refried bean mix onto tortilla and place into pan

add a light and even coat of cheese (this will be your glue to hold in mixture when cheese melts) add a layer of chicken mix, then another layer of cheese and repeat until you have layered all 4 or 5 tortillas.

Place in oven for 15 minutes until cheese has melted.

Remove from oven and place a plate on top and flip tortilla pie upside down and out of pan. Let cool then slice. ( A pizza cutter worked great for this).

Serve with salsa and fat free sour cream (I mixed the two as seen in photo)
