READER REVIEWS

Bev T says: "This was the best Taco Pie dish that we have ever had. My husband is not a taco lover at all. When he tasted the pie, he could not believe how good it was. In fact, there was no leftovers for the next day. It's definitely a winner in our home. I can't wait to make it for our next gathering. Thank you!"

Angie on Pinterest agrees: "This turned out amazing! All four of us loved it. This will be made over and over again."

Penny says: "Very easy and delicious! Definitely a must for Taco Tuesday!!"

Ingredients needed to make this Easy Taco Pie Recipe with Tortillas

Taco Pie Ingredients

• Ground chuck - Ground chuck is an 80/20 mix that will give this dish great beefy flavor. Lean ground beef if a great choice too!
• Fresh Onion and garlic - Use fresh vegetables for maximum flavor
• Dry Seasonings such as Chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, & pepper add spice to this taco pie recipe. For the best flavor use the seasonings listed in the recipe. However, in a pinch you may substitute a taco seasoning mix
• Refried beans - I use canned refried beans for convenience
• Flour tortillas - the 10" size flour tortillas makes a great pie crust for this savory pie as it is the perfect fit for a pie pan and a delicious crust for this savory taco casserole
• Salsa - I typically use my favorite jar salsa for convenience, but homemade salsa will bring even more flavor to this recipe
• Shredded Cheese Blend - I look for a Mexican blend of cheeses, but you can go with straight up shredded cheddar cheese or monterey jack if you prefer
• Freshly diced tomatoes just like you'd want on a taco are perfect to top this taco pie recipe
• Fresh green onions add a crisp flavor to the toppings
• Fresh Jalapeno peppers are a must on top of this taco pie! Add more or less depending on the spice level you prefer
• Fresh cilantro is optional for those who are not able to tolerate the flavor, but it really brings this recipe together and puts it over the top
• Top with sour cream and guacamole just like your favorite taco recipe

More Favorite Mexican toppings

• Black beans
• Bell pepper
• Green chiles
• Enchilada sauce in place of the salsa

Meal Plan - Double the Recipe

I highly recommend doubling this recipe and making TWO Taco Pies at once. It's easy and you can freeze one for dinner next week or enjoy for quick lunches.

To double the recipe, just double all the ingredients and divide them among two pie pans. This recipe freezes well. You can bake both pies and freeze one - just remember to let it cool completely before covering tightly and storing in the freezer.

When ready to use the frozen taco pie, take it out of the freezer a day or two ahead and let it thaw completely in the refrigerator. Then reheat and eat when ready to serve.

Taco Pie recipe with tortillas is a budget-friendly, easy recipe perfect for those busy weeknights!

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 30 Min

Ingredients

Taco Pie

• 1/2 pound ground chuck
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 (16 ounce) can of refried beans
• 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded Mexican Cheese Blend or cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup freshly diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 to 2 tablespoons finely diced jalapeno peppers
• Chopped cilantro for garnish
• Sour cream
• Simple Guacamole

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown 1/2 pound ground chuck. Season beef with 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, & 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add 1/2 cup diced onions and 1/2 tablespoon freshly minced garlic. Cook until meat mixture is browned all the way through and the fat is absorbed.
3. Place one 10" tortilla in the pie pan allowing the tortilla to cover the bottom of the pie plate and go up the sides. Top with 8 ounces refried beans. Spread to cover the tortilla evenly across the bottom of the pie plate.
4. Spoon taco meat over the beans and spread evenly. Place the 2nd tortilla on top of the taco meat and press down around the sides gently. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.
5. Remove from the oven and spread 1/2 cup salsa over the top layer. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese and spread the diced tomatoes over top of the cheese evenly. Top with 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 2 tablespoons finely diced jalapeno peppers. Bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking.
6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream and Simple Guacamole. Enjoy!

Notes:

1. Double the recipe: double all the ingredients and divide them among two pie pans. This easy recipe freezes well. You can bake both pies and freeze one - just remember to let it cool completely before covering tightly and storing in the freezer.
2. Before making the recipe it is best to gather all your ingredients and prepare them as needed (chopping, dicing, slicing, etc...) before you start making the recipe. A little prep work ahead of time helps to make the recipe move along more quickly and eases your stress level.
