Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 can refried beans
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g. Rotel)
• 0.5 cup sliced black olives
• 3 stalks green onions (sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish lightly with cooking spray.

Step 5

Place one large flour tortilla at the base of the pie dish. If the tortillas are too large, trim the edges so they fit snugly.

Step 6

Spread a layer of refried beans (about 1/3 of the can) evenly over the tortilla.

Step 7

Add a layer of the seasoned ground beef (about 1/3 of the mixture) on top of the refried beans.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process: tortilla, refried beans, seasoned beef, and cheese, until you have three full layers. Top the third layer with the remaining tortilla and sprinkle a mixture of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top.

Step 10

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the taco pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Top the taco pie with sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies, sliced black olives, and green onions. Serve and enjoy!
