Ingredients
1pound ground beef
2tablespoonstaco seasoning1 packet
2/3 cup water to make the taco meat
15ounces corn1 can, drained
15.25ounces black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed
8 ounces sour cream
8 ouncesshredded Colby Jack cheese
4 extra-large flour tortillas
Instructions
First, in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, brown your ground beef until no longer pink and drain off the grease. Then mix in your water and taco seasoning and simmer for a minute. Add in the drained corn and rinsed black beans.
Next, begin layering the taco pie. In a 9-inch pie pan, take one flour tortilla and form the bottom crust leaving any excess tortilla shell to climb up the sides. *Note* If you are using a regular 9-inch glass pie pan you will be doing two layers and using a total of three tortillas. You will need to use 1/2 of the meat mixture and cheese for each layer. If you are using a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan(like mine pictured), you will need four tortillas and split your meat and cheese into thirds.
Then add a layer of meat mixture with the corn and black beans, followed by an ounce or two of sour cream, and then a layer of the Colby Jack cheese. Repeat 1-2 more times.
Top the pie with a flour tortilla and cut off the excess with a knife or pizza cutter.
Bake uncovered at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until bubbling. Let it cool for 5 minutes and serve warm. Garnish with any taco toppings such as shredded lettuce, fresh salsa, and hot sauce.
