Does anyone have the recipe for Julie's Black Bean Torta? I know its a recipe in a 1995 newsletter but I found it on a more recent one.

I can't find it now so if anyone can help I really appreciate it.

There it is: page 349 of McDougall Progra for Healthy Heart

Jule's Black Bean Torta
3 c cooked black beans
1/3 c veggie broth
2 c finely chopped red onion
2 c finely chopped mixture of veggies (zucchini, celery, bell peppers, etc)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoons crushed red peppers
2 c fresh salsa
6 8-inch corn tortillas

Place the beans and veggy broth into a food processor and process until fairly smooth. Set aside. Saute the onion, veggies, and garlic in a small amount of water or broth for 10 minutes. Add the corn, cumin and red pepper and cook for 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside.
