Tortilla Pie Recipe
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly spray or grease the bottom and sides of a springform pan.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, cumin and red pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until onion has softened, 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste.
  • Add hamburger and garlic, crumble hamburger as it cooks until no longer pink.
  • Add corn, spinach, diced tomatoes and garbonzo beans (chickpeas).
  • Stir and cook until spinach has wilted, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Place 1 tortilla in the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Spread approximately 1 1/2 cup of the beef mixture evenly on top.
  • Then sprinkle on 1/2 cup cheese.
  • Repeat with 2 more layers and top with the last tortilla.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Set springform pan on a baking sheet or on top of foil to catch any drippings while being baked.
  • Bake pie until slightly browned, 15-20 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the sides.
  • Allow to cool slightly.
  • Using 2 wide spatulas, lift the pie from the bottom of the pan and transfer it to a serving platter or cutting board.
  • Cut into wedges.
  • Serve with cilantro, sour cream, and salsa if desired.
