Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and paprika. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until crumbly.
- Gradually add the ice water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim excess edges.
- Bake the tart crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
- In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with chili powder and ground cumin. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled tart crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the bean layer.
- Dollop sour cream across the cheese layer, then spread salsa evenly on top.
- Add a layer of diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and fresh cilantro as toppings.
- Place the tart back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the tarta from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
You can customize the toppings based on your preferences. For a spicier tart, use hot salsa and add jalapeños.
