Absolutely MARVELOUS! I pureed the pintos using a food processor - worked great. I ran short of salsa and didn't have black beans handy, so I used finely diced onions and green peppers from our garden with red beans and didn't need the sour cream topping. I used sprouted grain tortillas (Ezekiel brand) and had no trouble whatsoever with sogginess. I also tried using the springform pan, but we have some perfect-for-this round casserole dishes I'll use next time. Really, truly a marvel. Everyone loved it! I love the health it'll help create! Will be making this many times over...

Didn't have Pinto beans so used Borlotti beans (also known as cranberry beans by a few). Used gluten free tortillas and salsa and replaced the sour cream with natural yoghurt to cut through the possible stodginess. Just lovely.

I used this recipe as a "base" tonight for my Mexican Pie and it was awesome! I didn't have pinto beans so I subbed black bean dip. I added ground beef w taco seasonings, a can of corn and chopped green chilies to the tomato mixture as well. The pie came out great and my 7 year old ate his entire portion, without complaint. Will definately make this one again!

Nice twist! I added a few changes - ground beef with taco seasonings - great way to use left overs! Makes a lot too - also works reheated. I used lowfat cheese and sourcream, fat free refried beans and whole wheat tortillas and you never would have known! Thanks...

This was amazing! I left out the chopped tomato and cooked it more in the shape of a lasagna than what is shown in the picture. This was so delicious! I will definitely make it again.

Wow. Wow. I'm hooked. I took others' advice and baked the tortillas before layering. I added corn and a quarter of an onion I had left in the fridge. I also used chopped jar garlic because I'm lazy :). I have lots of leftovers and I'm very happy... Love it!

Very good! I like that this is easily adaptable to what we have available in the pantry. For the middle tortillas, I used corn tortillas (we only had a couple flour tortillas left); also, for both the flour and corn tortillas, I was a little concerned that my husband would find them to be too soggy with all the other ingredients, so I first put them on a dry frying pan at medium heat until they were just a little crunchy and brown, and then assembled the pie. Thanks for the recipe!

I LOVE this recipe, but my boyfriend, who hates cilantro, won't touch it. I make it every time we have "make your own meal" night, though. It's one of the few recipes that I don't alter at all—it's perfect as is.

This recipe was alright, but we felt it was too much bean for our appetite. We usually prefer vegetarian meals but felt this would benefit from some seasoned chicken or something else.

Amazing. I switched out the tomatoes/salsa/cilantro for some of the "fresh salsa" I found at the grocery store near the produce section. I sauteed tofu with the same salsa just to bring everything together. As per the other reviewers, I used a can of refried beans instead of the pintos, and baked the bottom two tortillas for a little bit before stacking. I added a little bit of tofu to each layer and it turned out to be amazing. My girlfriend is a vegetarian (and I love protein) so this was an excellent dish for both of us.

Surprisingly good! I put my tortillas in the oven for a couple minutes to prevent get them a little crispy (as another reviewer suggested). I didn't have cilantro. I used one can of refried beans (instead of pinto beans) and I cooked some ground beef with half an envelope of taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and chipotle chili powder. I sprinkled some black olives on top. Mine only had 4 layers so I made the other 3 layers in another dish, and put it in the freezer for later...I've never frozen a meal before so I hope it holds up well!

Very good! I used refried beans (in place of pinto beans) and added a half packet of taco seasoning in addition to a half pound of ground beef. I also threw in some olives and corn and briefly baked the tortillas before using them. My husband gave this recipe a definite five!

Loved it! This recipe and site inspired me to get back into cooking - (I've had springform pans for Years and never used them before - who knew?!) I added in black olives and used no-fat refried beans and since it was a wider pan - the bigger tortillas. Everything was low fat or no fat and I washed the black beans etc to remove as much sodium as possible. I served it with guacamole - YUM!

Awesome recipe! As the other reviwers suggested, I used enchilada sauce on every other layer (the black bean layers), and sliced black olives on the pinto bean layers. Came out amazing!!!

It was good, I'll probably make it again, but it needed something. Maybe some corn? I'm not sure, but it is a good base to start with, I'll have fun figuring out different ways to personalize it.

This has become a staple in my house. I have modified it to better suite our tastes by omiting the pinto beans and adding red, yellow and green peppers and corn. Thank you so much for this family favorite!!!

Make this easier on yourself and use refried beans instead of mashing up pinto beans. Also, I added black bean and corn salsa which was a nice addition. This is one of those recipes that you can throw in whatever else you would like and it will still turn out great (peppers, onions, avocado, etc). Fantastic!

This was amazing! So simple and very filling. I did 2 cans of refried beans instead of the pinto beans and added a can of corn with the black beans. I think it added something different than just layers of beans. Served it with torn lettuce, sour cream, salsa, olives and for a little extra crunch, some lightly crushed tortilla chips! Wonderful!!
