Easy, Tasty Tortilla Pie

Submitted by JanInSequim

"The original recipe was posted in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. I didn't have salsa with black beans and corn, so I improvised a bit with what I had in the cupboard. I also added 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder "just because." Serve with crisp green salad and/or sliced mango drizzled with fresh lime juice, salt and chili powder."
