3 teaspoon Taco Seasoning
1 cup Salsa
5 Large Flour Tortillas
2-½ cups Cheddar Cheese grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

On a baking sheet, place 2 tortillas on top of each other then add ½ the meat mixture and spread all over evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese all over the top of the meat mixture.
Start again with another layer and add another 2 tortillas on top of the cheese.
Spread the remaining meat mixture over evenly.
Sprinkle with another cup of cheese.
Place the final tortilla on the top and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the top of the last tortilla.

Remove and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes any of those traditional accompaniments.

Notes

Use your preferred salsa for this recipe. If you like the heat then use a hotter salsa.
Top your taco pie with your favorite taco dressings!
If you want a ‘take and bake’, you can wrap the pie in the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Remove and bake when needed. Remember you’ll be cooking it from cold so it’ll need longer to cook. Watch for ‘done-ness’.

Storage Instructions: Once cooked, allow to cool completely. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. This recipe freezes well for up to 3 months. Just remove, allow to thaw then bake as normal.
