Easy Taco Pie Recipe

A taco is a traditional Mexican dish loaded with familiar flavors such as seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, and vegetables all wrapped up in a handy tortilla making them easy to pick up and eat with your hands!

Tacos are very versatile and can be made with a variety of flavors and textures. I am a big fan of soft tacos made with flour tortillas, which is probably why I'm a huge fan of this Taco Pie. Although, the tortilla gets a little crispy while baking, that slightly crispy crunch adds a nice touch to this Taco Pie!

To make this Taco Pie recipe, preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray. Brown 1/2 pound ground chuck with 1/2 cup finely diced onions and 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic. Season it with 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika, as well as salt and pepper to taste. I usually have those seasonings on hand, but if you prefer to use a store-bought taco seasoning it will work just fine. I recommend using 1/2 of a packet of taco seasoning and be sure to taste the meat mixture before adding salt.

Ingredients

• 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
• 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 skillet over mid-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 the meat is browned all the way through and the fat is absorbed.
3. Place one 10" tortilla in the pie plate 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. Spoon the meat mixture over the beans and spread evenly. Place the 2nd tortilla on top of the meat mixture and press down around the sides gently. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until slightly browned.
