Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can sweet corn, drained
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- sour cream (optional, for garnish)
- avocado slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Mix the taco seasoning into the beef mixture, stirring well to coat. Add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through, then set aside.
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil. Place one tortilla at the bottom of the dish to serve as the base.
Spread one-third of the beef mixture over the tortilla, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top. Add another tortilla and repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a tortilla on top.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top tortilla to create a cheesy crust.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Mexican Fiesta Pie!
