Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh tomato (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Cook according to seasoning packet directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the liquid reduces. Remove from heat.
  4. Place one flour tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pie dish, letting the edges hang over the sides. Layer half of the seasoned beef mixture over the tortilla.
  5. Spread the warmed refried beans evenly over the beef layer. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Place a second tortilla on top of the cheese layer. Spread the remaining beef mixture over this tortilla.
  7. Top the beef with the remaining shredded cheese.
  8. Fold the overhanging edges of the bottom tortilla up and over the top layer of cheese to create a crust edge.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the Taco Pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Top each slice with sour cream, green onion, and fresh tomato.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or shredded cooked chicken for the ground beef to make this a lighter meal.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, mix 1/4 cup of salsa into the ground beef mixture before layering.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, brush the bottom tortilla lightly with melted butter before adding the filling.
