For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of refried beans or a sprinkle of taco seasoning to each layer. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a blend of Mexican cheeses would work well. If you like a bit more heat, use a spicier salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bean mixture. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly brush them with melted butter or olive oil before layering. This pie can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time. Garnish with avocado slices and more cilantro for an appealing presentation

May 22, 2023I didn't have any pinto beans on hand, so I used kidney beans instead. It was still delicious!

Aug 28, 2022The tortillas got a little soggy on the bottom, so next time I'll try brushing them with butter first.
