Easy Vegan Tortilla Pie

Ingredients:

• 6-8 large flour tortillas (ensure they are vegan)
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
• 1 cup diced onions
• 1 cup diced zucchini
• 1 cup vegan shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any melty variety)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
• Salsa or guacamole for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent.
3. Add the diced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.
4. Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are well combined and heated through. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
5. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking dish.
6. Place one tortilla in the bottom of the greased pie dish.
7. Add a layer of the vegetable and bean mixture on top of the tortilla.
8. Sprinkle a layer of vegan shredded cheese on top of the vegetables.
9. Repeat the layers with another tortilla, vegetable mixture, and cheese. Continue layering until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
10. Cover the pie dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla pie is heated through.
11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
12. Remove the Tortilla Pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
13. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with salsa or guacamole on the side.
