Taco Pie


Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been out of town, and therefore not cooking or planning meals. Haha. But here is my Taco Pie.

This is easy. It's messy, and not terribly pretty in pictures, but it is yummy. My husband loved it. I have had a request to make it again someday. Haha. I guess that's a victory. I hope you enjoy it too. Here we go!

Ingredients:
-Tortillas, at least 3, and soft taco sized
-Ground beef, about a lb, cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning
-Shredded cheese, about 3 cups
-refried beans (I used canned), about 1 cup or so
-red enchilada sauce, about 1 cup
-sour cream, about 2 cups

Directions:
Toast the tortillas under the broiler in the oven until just brown and a little bit firm. This will be the "pie crust" so you want it to be a little crunchy. Place the crunchy tortilla in the bottom of a round 8 in. cake pan. Spread about half of the refried beans onto the tortilla. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the cheese onto the beans. Pour in about half the enchilada sauce, and try to get it as evenly spread as possible. Then add about half of the ground beef. Spread the layer evenly. Spread half the sour cream over the beef as evenly as possible. This will be a little challenging. ;) Add about a third of the remaining cheese.
Top with another crunchy tortilla.
Repeat the layers a second time. When you have placed the last tortilla on top of all the layers, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake it in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes, until all the cheese is melted and everything is hot and bubbly inside. Let it cool just slightly, then cut a "slice" for everyone. It will be a messy ordeal, but it will taste yummy. Serve it hot and enjoy!
