How To Make taco pie
-
Step 1Pre-heat oven to 375.
-
Step 2Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add about 1 Tbsp oil. Begin to sauté onions until fragrant and translucent. Add beef and continue to cook until beef is no longer pink.
-
Step 3Add in taco seasoning and cook according to package instructions. (When using my own seasoning, which I did in this recipe, I always use less water than the packet calls for: ~ ½ cup.) Bring quickly to a boil and then simmer until liquid is almost evaporated.
-
Step 4At this point, add the black beans, corn and green chilies to the beef mixture. Let simmer for ~ 5 minutes to let flavors meld. Liquid should be evaporated.
-
Step 5Spray an 8 x 8 casserole dish with cooking spray. Place three tortillas on the bottom of the dish, cutting them to fit any empty space. Layer with half of the beef mixture. Top with half of the salsa and 1/3 of the cilantro.
-
Step 6Repeat layers. Finish with cheese and the final 1/3 of cilantro.
-
Step 7Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until sides are bubbly and cheese has melted.
-
Step 8Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
