  or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Stir in cumin.  Add onion, 
  bell peppers and hot peppers and saute until onion is translucent, about 
  3-5 minutes.  Then add tomatoes and juice, black beans and cilantro, if 
  using.  Cook for 1 minute more.  Remove from heat.  Season with salt and 
  pepper.

  Spread batter as evenly as possible over beans in skillet. 
  Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until top is golden and firm.  Let stand 
  for about 5 minutes before serving the pie server or spoon.
