- Yield servings
The Latin section of your supermarket is a great place to find a wide variety of canned beans, spices and interesting ingredients like the hominy that's featured in this Southwestern-inspired potpie.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 whole jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (14 oz)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 can pinto beans, rinsed (15 oz)
- 1 can yellow or white hominy, rinsed (15 oz)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 whole corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- To prepare filling: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and jalapenos and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add paprika, cumin, oregano, cinnamon and cloves; cook stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add squash, tomatoes and broth; bring to a simmer. Simmer, covered, until the squash is just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add beans and hominy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 2- to 3-quart baking dish.
- To prepare topping: Combine 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 tablespoon salt in a small bowl; brush on both sides of tortillas. Cut the tortillas into 3/4-inch strips and cut the strips in half. Scatter the tortilla strips over the filling.
- Bake the potpie in the center of the oven until the filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top and return to the oven until melted.
