- Arrange the tortillas:
Place tortillas around the edges of the pan so they hang over the sides. Add one tortilla in the center to fully cover the bottom. - Add the filling:
Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the tortillas. Add the cooked chicken or beef, black beans, diced onion, bell pepper, and salsa. Top with the remaining cheese. - Fold and seal:
Fold the overhanging tortillas over the filling. Place another tortilla on top if needed to fully cover everything. - Bake:
Place another baking sheet on top to press it down. Bake for 20 minutes. - Crisp the top:
Remove the top pan and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. - Serve:
Let it cool slightly, then slice into squares or wedges. Serve with sour cream, avocado, or your favorite toppings.
