Quick and easy main dish or appetizer - filling comfort food great for that game day party.
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained (I used Safeway's Signature Select brand)
  • ¼ to ½cup diced green chiles (depending on desired heat level)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheddar jack blend
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (approximately)
  • 2 12-inch tortillas (white or whole wheat)
Instructions
  1. Drain the black beans and set aside the liquid.
  2. In a small to medium skillet, saute the bell pepper and red onion in olive oil until soft.
  3. Stir in the black beans, then add the green chiles, adjusting the amount to get desired heat. Set aside.
  4. In a very large skillet, place the bottom tortilla and then spread half the shredded cheddar cheese evenly so that the tortilla is mostly covered. Then lightly spread half the feta cheese over the cheddar cheese.
  5. Evenly spread the black bean mixture over the cheese, then top with a second layer of cheddar and then feta cheese. Top with the second tortilla.
  6. Cook over medium heat until bottom layer of cheese is melted and bottom tortilla is getting crisp.
  7. Using a very large plate or pizza pan, flip over and cook the other side.
  8. Slide off onto a large platter, cut into wedges, serve & enjoy!
