I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. Mine has been very busy so far, and I’m looking forward to relaxing tonight! In the meantime, here is a great recipe. This was really delicious. When I was flipping through my Great Food Fast by Martha Stewart Cookbook and I saw this brightly colored dish, I decided that I needed to try this out. Very tasty, and not too much work either. You can even assemble this ahead of time and then bake it before serving it. I love black beans, so this was definitely my kind of meal. Try it out for yourself.
4 flour tortillas (10 inch)
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, diced
1 jalapeno chili, minced (remove seeds and ribs for less heat)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Course salt and pepper
2 cans (15 ounce each) black beans, drained and rinsed
12 ounces beer, or 1 1/2 cups water
1 package (10 ounce) frozen corn
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese (8 ounces)
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a paring knife, trim the toritillas to fit a 9 inch springform pan, using the bottom of the pan as a guide. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Add the beans and beer to the skillet, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium; simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the corn and scallions, and chicken and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Fit a trimmed tortilla in the bottom of the springform pan; later with one quarter of the beans and 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat 3 times, using 1 cup cheese on the top layer. Bake until hot and the cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes. Unmold the pie; sprinkle with scallions. Slice into wedges, and serve immediately. Serve salsa and sour cream on the side.
I don’t know if I have ever commented here before, but I have been reading your blog for a while. My sister found you one day and told me I had to take a look!
This looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing it.
I hate looking through cookbooks, but everything you make looks so good, so I don’t even have to pull out a cookbook.
Yummy!
Steph!!! I was totally craving one of these last night and didn’t have all the ingredients to assemble it. But it’s on my list for next week. Looks SO good!!!
i cannot stress enough just how much i love dishes like this. i don’t care how it looks, smells, or feels–as long as there are black beans, corn, cheese, and some heat involved, i will eat ridiculously-sized portions of it. i love this meal!
That looks really good. Simmering in beer sounds like a good idea!
Mmmmm,
This would be a huge hit in my house. I remember making something similar a month or 2 ago and my husband asked if we could eat it every night!
It really looks great! Hope you get a little relaxation tonight!
This looks so delicious! I love the colors from the corn!
Loving that recipe. Great for dinner or a snack.
Fantastic
