I like this a lot. Like Zeemer, I love dishes which are comprised of stacks with fillings between each layer. It probably comes from my lifelong love affair with lasagna. I think for this version, I'd use a mix of black beans and ground beef rather than just the black beans alone. The homemade enchilada sauce looks really good, though I'm open to using a store-bought one to save time. I like the idea of using the springform pan to keep everything nice and tidy. This will definitely get made soon.

This Stacked Black Bean Pie is so mouth-watering maybe because I'm always attracted to this type of food preparation - something stacked in a thin sheet of tortillas. I'm not a fan of black bean, maybe I can exclude that ingredient should I decided to make this recipe. The other yummy ingredients can make up for the taste of the whole recipe. Maybe I can substitute olives for the black beans. What do you think?

I do NOT LIKE Black Beans....has anyone just used plain Refried Beans as a substitute?

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make a 1/2 recipe using a 7" pan with small tortillas .Make sure you put the pan on a cookie sheet - it can leak.
