Bean And Cheese Stack Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Using bottom of pan as a guide, trim tortillas to fit inside pan.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion, bell pepper and garlic in oil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in corn, black beans and kidney beans. Cook 2 minutes longer. Add taco sauce; stir until vegetables are coated. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Place 1 tortilla in bottom of springform pan; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Top with one-third of the bean mixture; sprinkle with another 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers twice. Top with fourth tortilla and remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onions. Carefully remove side of pan. Cut stack into wedges. Serve with guacamole and sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler.
• Drain the beans in a colander set over a bowl. Save the bean liquid.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the drained beans. Using a potato masher, mash the beans until they become a spreadable mixture, adding extra bean liquid, if needed.
• Put the rolls on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Spread each half of the rolls with about 1/2 cup of the refried beans. Top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble. Transfer the rolls to a serving tray and serve.
• Combine the beans, garlic, onion, and bay leaves in a medium pot. Add enough water to reach about 1 1/2 inches over the beans. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add more water if the beans are absorbing too much liquid. The beans should be soupy when done, with plenty of liquid remaining. Season the beans with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Ladle the beans and cooking liquid into soup bowls and garnish with Mexican crema, cilantro and chopped white onions. Alternatively, the beans can be drained and use as a filling for soft tacos.
