4. In a small bowl, combine mozzarella, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.
5. Place a tortilla in prepared springform pan. Spread with one-quarter of the vegetable–bean sauce. Sprinkle with one-quarter of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers three times, leaving a little cheese for the topping. Top with final tortilla; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover pan tightly with foil.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese has melted. Cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife.
