Ingredients
1lb of lean ground beef ( Lean is a suggestion, less oil when it cooks, makes great taco meat)
Corn- 1 1/2 cup(can or frozen/thawed cooked)
Black beans or Pinto-1 1/2 cup (can or dry cooked)
Fire roasted tomatoes with chiles (1 whole medium can)
1 yellow or red onion
1 bag of fritos lays corn chips
2-3 Cups of Fiesta mix shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- First, get your onion chopped and diced up.
- Next, start cooking your ground beef in a pan. Add your onions, seasoning and cook your meat until brown/done. If you need to, drain your meat, then set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
- Now it’s time to start layering your taco pie. First, drain and rinse your beans and corn if in a can. Add the beans and corn to a mixing bowl. Then add a drained can of tomatoes to the bowl. Mix everything together.
- Take your baking pan, cover pan with cooking oil spray( dont worry if you dont have oil spray, pour a little vegetable or olive oil in the pan spread it around with a paper towel or with a utensil to keep food from sticking)
- Open your chips and spread a few handfuls to cover bottom of pan, then add your cooked beef, covering your chips. You can also sprinkle a handful of cheese over your beef.
- Now, take your beans and corn mix, add a layer covering the beef and cheese. Then add the rest of your chips, layering across your mix. Add more cheese covering the top.
- Place foil or baking lid over your pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, checking at about 20 minutes. Remove foil or lid for that last 7-10 mins of baking. Cheese should be melted with chips nice and crispy.
