Ingredients

• 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 2 cans (15oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 12 oz beer or 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 package (10oz) frozen corn

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Trim tortillas to fit a 9 inch cake pan, set aside.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is softened, 5-7 minutes.

Add beans and beer to skiller and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, simmer until liquid has almost evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in corn and scallions and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.

Fit a trimmed tortilla in a cake pan, layer with 1/4 of the beans and 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat three times using 1 cup cheese on top layer. Bake until hot and melty, 20-25 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.
