From Family Fun magazine, May 2009. This was fun to make and a lot easier than it looks...give it a go!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 lb lean ground beef or 3/4 lb turkey or 3/4 lb chicken
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 (15 1/4 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 cup salsa
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated

Directions:

1. In a large skillet over medium low heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
2. Increase heat to medium, add ground beef or poultry, chili powder, and cumin. cook the mixture until meat is crumbled and cooked through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, water, black beans, and corn and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer/boil, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Using the rim of a 9 inch spring form pan as a template, trim 3 of the tortillas to the size of the pan.
4. Butter the bottom and sides of the pan. Press the UNTRIMMED tortilla evenly into the pan’s bottom. Spread 2 tablespoons of the sour cream over the tortilla, followed by ¼ cup of salsa. Spoon and spread a quarter of the meat mixture over the salsa, and follow with a quarter of grated cheese.
5. Place one trimmed tortilla on top of the cheese layer. Repeat layering until all ingredients and tortillas are used up. Finish the top with cheese.
6. Bake the pie until heated through, about 30 minutes. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the rim from the spring form pan.
7. Slice into wedges and serve with “taco” stuff!

We just polished this pie off for dinner--well actually just half of it, but it was fantastic! Used lean ground beef and added a bit extra garlic and cumin, as well as some chipolte powder. This will definitely be made again.
