Taco Pie
by cybergranny
This is adapted from an old Mr Food recipe. It is so quick and easy to prepare and kids and grown-ups alike absolutely love it. Not to mention how beautiful it looks!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound Ground beef ; lean
- 1 package Taco seasoning ; or mix your spices as I did below
- 16 ounces Refried beans ; (1 can)
- 1 cup Salsa ; store bought or homemade
- 2 cups Lettuce ; shredded (iceberg is best)
- 2 large Tomatoes ; chopped
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese ; shredded (I use low-fat)
- 1/3 cup Sour cream ; (I use light)
INSTRUCTIONS
You can use the full fat varieties of all ingredients if you choose. For a healthier meal and no loss of flavor, use the lower fat versions. In a large skillet, cook the beef and taco seasoning over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes until browned, stirring frequently. I use cumin, chili powder and granulated garlic instead of the pre-packaged mix, about a teaspoon of each. Stir in beans and salsa breaking up the mixture with the back of a spoon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, scrape down the sides with a spatula and evenly distribute mixture over skillet bottom. Immediately sprinkle with half the cheese then layer on the lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and remaining cheese as in the picture. This is great served with pickled jalapenos on the side for those who want more heat and additional salsa is nice as well.
