Interesting presentation - and yummy! I too made changes to suit our tastes. I added an extra layer with a 1/2 lb of lean ground beef with taco seasonings. Substituted a can of Rotel (mostly drained) for the salsa. And added sauteed corn and peppers into the black bean mixture. I piled this all up in a 9" springform pan and since I had preheated the beans some - I baked uncovered for approx. 20 min. A very tasty and versatile recipe - thanks!

This was very easy to make, and very tasty! When I went to the store, I forgot to get the salsa, so I had to make my own. I just used some canned diced tomato with garlic and onion, some fresh diced onion, lime juice, cilantro, and the other 1/2 cup of the diced tomato called for in the recipe. My 8-yr old mashed the beans while I made the salsa. Everyone loved it, and so did I!

This came out perfect and looked just like the picture. I thought it lacked flavor other than just beans. I probably won't make again.

I really liked this recipe, I love beans so it was perfect for me. I used refried beans (with lime and green chiles) instead of pinto beans and it was very good, but I would like to try next time with the pinto beans. I also made fresh guacamole and put that on top and guacamole is great on anything g mexican so that was delicious! My husband enjoyed this too.

This got rave reviews from my husband and his dad who doesn't eat red meat. I would have used refried beans like other reviewers suggested but didn't have any on hand so used 1 can of Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce instead to replace the 2 cans of pinto beans. I mashed them up, added some taco seasoning and cumin and carried on with the recipe. I also warmed the tortillas in the oven prior to putting the pie together so that they would be a bit crispy and not get soggy like some had complained of. This helped a bit I think. Also had to cook longer than 40 minutes for the middle to heat up. Served with guacamole, salsa, and jalapenos!! Yum, YUM, YUMMY. Thanks for the easier, vegetarian meal.

This was really good - my 5 year old and husband loved it. I made a few changes - I replaced one layer of cheddar with Monteray Jack w/jalapenos and I added cumin,a can of green chiles, garlic and mexicorn to the black bean layer. I think I'll try the refried beans next time but the mashed pintos were great too. It was even better the next day! Thanks for a great recipe.

This is a great recipe. I added 1/2 lb beef to one of the layers of pinto beans, used canned tomatoes in the black bean mixture and mashed some cooked pinto beans that were leftover from having beans and rice instead of canned refried beans. I thought this was almost better the next day when everything had melded together more.

I have 6 children. Everyone in my home loved this dinner. I did make a few changes to suit my family's specific tastes. I added some cumin and some chili powder. I also slightly blended the kidney bean mixture with my VitaMix. And I did not bake it covered in foil. This made it work so well for my family. They loved the crunchy edges. And I didn't keep track of how many layers I had. I just spread the appropriate amount of filling on each layer, sprinkled with cheese and stopped making more layers when I ran out of filling.

i loved this. i took some suggestions that i found in the reviews: i added 1/2 pack taco seasoning to the pinto bean mixture and some cumin to the black bean mixture. i used a jack and cheddar cheese mix instead of just cheddar. it came out perfectly, not too dry or too soggy. i'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe is great! I've made this several times and each time you can do something a little different. My husband likes taco meat added to his. I'm a vegetarian so I like fake taco meat or soyrizo, and any vegetable(s) I have in the house. Try pouring a can of your favorite enchilada sauce over the top before baking, yum!

Loved this!! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. I used a slotted spoon when scooping the black bean tomato mixture, as that was quite watery. The "stack" held up perfectly and after baking and I was able to serve it in pie-like wedges. Next time I might replace one of the pinto bean layers with a mixture of crumbled Boca and maybe some black olives. This recipe will lend itself to some creativity.

Very simple to make. Next time I think I'll use refried beans instead of pinto, and add a can of Rotel instead of chopped tomatoes to give it a little more kick.

This was pretty good, although as my bf put it, "it's mighty beany." Would like to try it again with shredded chicken as others have suggested. I kinda wished the tortillas would crisp up a little instead of getting as soggy as they did, maybe next time I will bake without the foil for a few minutes? In general very good easy recipe.
