Taco Pie

Taco Tortilla Pie

Tired of tacos?

Taco Tuesday with a twist.

We all have our typical dinner meals we make over and over. I get bored with it after a while as does the rest of the family. So what if you can take your usual recipe and slightly tweak it?

Does visually changing the look make a difference?

Yes!

Hello Taco Pie.

My children love tacos and I was a bit afraid of what they would say when they saw this. Told them it was taco pie, cut them a slice and down the hatch it went. Always a pleasing experience when children approve.

It is layered similarly like a lasagna. Take your favorite taco recipe and layer the seasoned ground beef with the soft tortilla shells, slather of tomato sauce and sprinkling of cheese with each layer. (I used 3 tortilla shells).

Bake for 20 minutes at 350F. Cut into slices and serve with your favorite taco toppings (salsa, sour cream, shredded lettuce or guacamole).

Taco Tuesday just got a bit spicier :)

  1. This sound delish. Everyone loves tacos and in a pie means less mess

    What kind of tomato sauce do you use?

  2. I haven't found my "go to" tomato sauce yet. This time around, I used some homemade jarred sauce I made in the fall.

    But, I pretty much use everything from no name superstore spicy tomato sauce to newly discovered Paul Newman's Sockarooni (that one is yummy but not really cheap).
