Ingredients
For the Crust
- ½ c white whole wheat flour or unbleached all-purpose*
- ½ c cornmeal
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- ½ c water
For the Filling
- ½ tsp salted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 c corn, thawed if frozen
- 1 c pinto beans, cooked, drained and rinsed if canned
- ¾ c (6 oz) Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Roma tomato or other tomato with a small diameter, sliced
- 1 oz queso fresco or shredded Monterey Jack
Instructions
For the Crust
- Mix flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder in a small bowl. Add oil and mix until it is evenly distributed, crumbling any clumps that form with your fingers.
- Mix in the water until a stiff dough comes together.
- Cover the dough and let is rest for 5 minutes while your preheat your oven to 350F. (Resting the dough allows the cornmeal to absorb some of the moisture and become more tender.)
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough a couple of times, until it is smooth and not sticky.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a ball. Roll the balls out into a circle, roughly ¼ inch thick.
- Place each round into a greased, 2 cup, oven-safe baking dish. Place the dishes in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the crust is puffy.
For the Filling
- While the crust is baking, make your filling. Heat ½ tsp butter in a large skillet and add onions. Sauté over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes, letting them char slightly. Add the diced green peppers and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the corn and beans and heat for 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Mix enchilada sauce and salt into the vegetable mixture. Spoon the mixture evenly into the two par-baked crusts.
- Arrange three tomato slices over top of the vegetable mixture.
- Bake the pies for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pies from the oven and top with cheese. Return to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Serve warm, topped with sour cream or guacamole, if desired.
Notes
- *If using all purpose flour, you may need to add a couple extra tablespoons of flour to keep the dough from being too sticky.
