Easy Tortilla Pie
Whole wheat tortillas become soft as butter when baked in this easy sauce full of healthy peppers and beans. Make it spicy or mild based on your salsa and peppers. Don’t like things spicy? Use only bell peppers (no jalapeño) and mild salsa. Like it hot? Use spicy salsa and jalapeño or super hot habanero peppers. Then top with cool sour cream. Yum! - Jenny Jones

Hi Jenny! I’ll add my name to the loooong list of people who so appreciate your recipes and easy-to-navigate website. Thank you!
You have mentioned whole wheat tortillas in a few places, but is there a recipe for making them?
Please see the note at the bottom. https://www.jennycancook.com/recipes/homemade-tortillas/
My bad! Sorry ! The moment I looked at the list of ingredients, and didn’t see “whole wheat”, I stopped reading !!!!! 😄
This is one of my favourite go to recipes. Love that it’s adaptable to what you have on hand. Today I only have a half cup of salsa so I’m adding Rotel tomatoes. Using a mix of peppers and mushrooms. I have some cheddar and Gouda. Cutting my larger tortillas to fit the pan. It always turns out delicious.
Thanks Jenny
No question just wanted to say how much I love you cooking video’s. Now that my husband and I are old it’s nice to see you can still have good food with out all that trouble fat in it. We’re both trying to lose weight so am going to be using your recipes a lot. Keep up the wonderful videos your the best. ?????? : Carol M
Can you substitute salsa for anything else. I don’t do anything tomato?
I’ll be making this for my vegan son today with vegan cheese, thank you.
I do want to express my gratitude for your website, easy to navigate. Too many recipe sites elevate my blood pressure with pages full of their life stories with ads, clicking “jump to recipe” only crashes my ipad, thanks again!
This is one of my favorite recipes. So easy to make & so flavorful. Very filling. ( I don’t add the jalapeno pepper)
