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:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent.
- Add the diced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.
- 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.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking dish.
- Place one tortilla in the bottom of the greased pie dish.
- Add a layer of the vegetable and bean mixture on top of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle a layer of vegan shredded cheese on top of the vegetables.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
- Remove the Tortilla Pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with salsa or guacamole on the side.
