Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Trim the tortillas with a paring knife, to fit in a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
For the sauce, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, until it begins to turn translucent.

Add the beans, corn, and green onions. Remove from heat and setaside.
In a greased springform pan, place a generous 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce. Spread it to the edges with the back of a spoon and place 1 tortilla on top.
Place another heaping 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on top of the tortilla,smoothing out to the sides.
Sprinkle with a heaping 1/2 cup of the black beanmixture.
Then sprinkle with about a 1/2 cup of cheese.
Repeat the layers of tortilla, sauce, black beans, and cheese 4 more times.
After the last tortilla is stacked, pour over the remaining sauce and remaining cheese.
Place the spring form pan on top of a cookie sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife along the sides of the pan before you remove the side.

I like this a lot. Like Zeemer, I love dishes which are comprised of stacks with fillings between each layer. It probably comes from my lifelong love affair with lasagna. I think for this version, I'd use a mix of black beans and ground beef rather than just the black beans alone. The homemade enchilada sauce looks really good, though I'm open to using a store-bought one to save time. I like the idea of using the springform pan to keep everything nice and tidy. This will definitely get made soon.

This Stacked Black Bean Pie is so mouth-watering maybe because I'm always attracted to this type of food preparation - something stacked in a thin sheet of tortillas. I'm not a fan of black bean, maybe I can exclude that ingredient should I decided to make this recipe. The other yummy ingredients can make up for the taste of the whole recipe. Maybe I can substitute olives for the black beans. What do you think?

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make a 1/2 recipe using a 7" pan with small tortillas .Make sure you put the pan on a cookie sheet - it can leak.
