This seven layer tortilla pie is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines layers of tortillas, ground beef, black beans, cheese, and salsa. It's a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a potluck gathering. The pie is baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are crispy. Serve it with a side of sour cream and guacamole for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 10 small flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream and guacamole, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add the taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and frozen corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  4. In a 9-inch pie dish, place one flour tortilla on the bottom. Spread a layer of the beef mixture over the tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese, ending with a layer of tortilla on top.
  5. Spread the salsa over the top layer of tortilla and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  6. Cover the pie dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into slices.
  8. Serve the seven layer tortilla pie with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
  9. Enjoy!
