We didn't invent the concept of a lasagna-esque tortilla pie, a fusion of Italian forms and Mexican flavors. We just perfected it. Yes, we should be humble, but it's hard to be humble when we've developed such deliciousness. Black beans, corn, and tomatoes form the filling, tortillas the "noodle" layers, and there's also not one, but two kinds of cheese. With salsa and sour cream on top, we think you'll agree: We've come as close to perfection as possible here.
