1-Getting started: Getting started with this cheesy burrito pie is as easy as layering your ingredients in a pan. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F, which ensures even baking and melts the cheese just right. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, making it simple even if you’re new to cooking.

2-First, place one flour tortilla in the bottom of an 8-9 inch round or square pan to create the base. Spread ⅓ cup salsa evenly over the tortilla for a zesty foundation. Then, layer half of the black beans, half of the diced tomatoes, and ½ cup cheese on top, followed by 2 tablespoons each of chopped cilantro and sliced green onion.

3-Next, add the second flour tortilla and repeat the layering with the remaining beans, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, and green onion. For the top, place the third tortilla and spread the remaining salsa, cheese, and green onion. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese melts perfectly.

4-After baking, let the pie set for about 10 minutes to hold its shape before serving. This allows the layers to firm up, making it easier to slice. Serve with optional toppings like sour cream and guacamole to add extra flair. For more baking inspiration, try our apple cranberry crisp for a fruity dessert side.
