Steps:
- Add the garlic to a skillet over low heat with a little olive oil and cook until the garlic just squishes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onions and cook until lightly browned but not overly dark, about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the butter and sugar and cook until the onions have thoroughly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add the roasted garlic, Parmesan, mayonnaise, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Reserve one-third of the mixture in the refrigerator to use to make the dipping sauce. Evenly spread the remaining mixture on the top of 11 of the tortillas. Stack the tortillas on top of one another and top with the remaining tortilla. Wrap the tortilla stack in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours to set up.
- Preheat a grill to medium. Cut the stack into 16 wedges. Using tongs, grill each wedge on the cut sides until it's warmed and grill marks appear.
- Mix the reserved onion mixture with the balsamic vinegar to make a dipping sauce; season to taste. Serve the wedges with the dipping sauce.

Looks like a pie, cuts like a pie, and tastes like a little bit of Southwestern heaven. This casserole is made from pinto and black beans layered with tortillas and cheese. Picante sauce gives it just the right kick. You can replace the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack if you like.

Tips for Making Layered Tortillas Appetizers:
- Choose Tortillas Wisely: Opt for high-quality tortillas that are pliable and won't tear easily. Corn or flour tortillas work well, depending on your preference.
- Layer Generously: Don't be shy with the fillings! Generous layers of fillings will ensure each bite is packed with flavor and texture.
- Chill Before Serving: After assembling the tortilla stacks, chill them for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the flavors meld and makes slicing easier.
- Get Creative with Fillings: The possibilities are endless! Experiment with various fillings such as seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, black beans, roasted vegetables, cheese, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
- Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, garnish the tortilla stacks with fresh herbs, chopped veggies, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkling of cheese for an extra touch of elegance.
