Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Shredded cooked chicken (optional, or substitute with beans for a vegetarian version)
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter (to grease the pie dish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Salsa (optional, for serving)
- 1 as needed Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken (or beans), shredded cheese, chopped green onions, bell peppers, and taco seasoning. Mix well and spread evenly in the prepared pie dish.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will form a simple batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the filling in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the mixture completely.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (test with a knife—if it comes out clean, it's ready).
Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side.
