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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will form a simple batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the filling in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the mixture completely.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side.
