seven layer tortilla pie

[Guest guest]

I got this from another group and thought id share.... I tried it last night,

and my husband and I both really liked it!

i might do a little 'tweaking' next time i make it, maybe use refried beans,

and some fresh avocados on top, but it was realy good as is.

" Southwest cooking at its best. Two different kinds of beans are

zipped up with picante sauce, cilantro, garlic and tomato, and then

layered between a stack of flour tortillas. Pop into a hot oven and

40 minutes later it emerges - seven layers of delight. "

garlic.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup salsa, cilantro, black

beans and tomatoes.

4. Place 1 tortilla in a pie plate or tart dish. Spread 3/4 cup

pinto bean mixture over tortilla to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top

with 1/4 cup cheese, and cover with another tortilla. Spread with
