This is an easy to make dinner idea baked in the oven for 20 minutes. Prep time is quick by layering ingredients! Use ground beef or ground turkey (or omit ground meat for a vegetarian version)for this meal idea. Taco Tuesday never tasted so good!

Taco Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5 – 8” fat-free (or regular) flour tortillas 
• 1 lb. ground beef or turkey, cooked w/ reduced sodium taco seasoning 
• 1 can refried beans 
• 1 jar salsa – your favorite (ours is Pace salsa)

• Tomato, chopped, for garnish
• Optional garnishes-sour cream and salsa

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

1. Cook meat with taco seasoning per the package directions.
2. In a skillet ( I used cast iron ) layer tortilla, beans, salsa, meat, cheese.
   
3. Repeat the process. Leave the last tortilla that is on the top plain.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Uncover, add cheese on top of the plain top tortilla. Then, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Or just until cheese is melted and tortilla edges are light brown. 
6. Top with green onions and tomato garnishes. Add additional garnishes such as salsa and sour cream if you’d like.
7. Slice, Serve and Enjoy!

Can you make taco pie vegetarian?

Yes, follow the same steps to make the recipe and omit the ground meat. Replace the ground meat with more refried beans, black beans or (pre-made)Mexican rice.

I spotted this Vegan Taco Pie it’s a little more labor-intensive but, ready in 60 minutes, and looks yummy! I’m inspired to try my own version that is meatless.

Can you make this recipe for taco pie ahead of time?

Yes! Just assemble, refrigerate and pop it in the oven to bake when you are ready the same day or next day.

I heard you can freeze them but, haven’t tried it myself. Wrap each 9×13 pan with a layer of plastic wrap. Set each pan to freeze in the freezer – resource (larger size taco pie freezer meal).
