Taco Pie

By

I am a huge fan of Mexican food! I am usually way to lazy to make enchiladas so I have evolved my recipe to a layered taco pie. This recipe is great topped with chipotle "sour cream" and heirloom tomato salsa!

Preparation

Step 1

Add your enchilada sauce ingredients to a small pan and simmer. This is a simple way to spice up your store bought enchilada sauce.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350

Saute your onions in a little bit of olive oil. When they start to get soft add ground meat. Brown. Add green chiles and taco seasoning. Set aside in a bowl when the meat is cooked.

Step 3

Using the same pan as your meat, saute your vegetables. Add extra taco seasoning to your vegetables to taste.

Step 4

Grab a pie dish and layer enchilada sauce, corn tortillas, a layer of ground beef, tortillas again, vegetables, olives, green onions, cheese. Add another layer of tortillas and ground beef if you have room. Top with Cheddar.

Step 5

Swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock and skip the ground meat layer all together for a vegetarian version.
