How festive is this 8 layer tortilla pie? Made with layers of corn tortillas, black beans, onions, corn and cheese. The bean and corn mixture is cooked in a vegan beer for added flavor. For a complete listing of vegetarian/vegan-friendly beer, please visit my favorite resource: www.barnivore.com (No affiliation to TheVegLife, they are just awesome for what they do 🙂 ) You could also use vegetable broth here.

I get asked alot for vegetarian variations of the recipes I post and really, this could be vegan with just a simple substitute of the cheddar cheese. I usually try to make my recipes vegan because those substitutions are more of a challenge.

Top with a dollop of sour cream (or vegan sour cream) and a little salsa. Serve warm. We made ours in these single serve 4″ springform pans (found on Amazon.com) and used a cookie cutter to trim the tortillas, but you could also do this in any traditional pan and slice into wedges.

Happy {simple} Cinco de Mayo 🙂

This would be great with a layer of refried beans and maybe even some diced tomatos. It’s such a versatile concept, add your favorites. Just be sure not to add too much moisture or the tortillas won’t crisp up.
