Tortilla Pie
Source: pattilouwho (Tasty Kitchen)
This dish was delicious! Yum-O! The modifications I made was to brown and drain the ground beef before adding the spices and while the ground beef was draining, I sauted the onions and then mixed everything in the skillet! I also added some salsa to the mixture as well as on the layers. I also added an extra layer since I had a little over a pound of ground beef!
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 whole Onion, Chopped
1 pound Ground Beef
1½ Tablespoon Granulated Garlic
1 Tablespoon Cumin (I used chipotle pepper seasoning mix)
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Paparika
Salt & Pepper (to Taste)
1 cup Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
1 cup Cooked Rice (white Or Brown)
3 whole Tortillas (burrito Size)
Salsa
2 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
3 whole Green Onions, Chopped
Sour Cream
Preheat oven to 375°
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Add chopped onion and saute until translucent (about 5 minutes)
Mix all spices in a small bowl
Add ground beef to cooked onions and add spice mixture (I browned and drained my ground beef before adding spices)
Break up ground beef and cook completely until browned
Taste mixture and add salt/pepper as needed
Add black beans and rice to ground beef and mix well
Using a pie pan, put a layer of salsa on the bottom, about 1/4 cup (I used a little more than 1/4 cup for each layer)
Place a tortilla over the salsa
Sprinkle cheese over tortilla
Spoon meat/bean/rice mixture over cheese layer
Repeat layers once more starting with salsa and then end with a tortilla and remaining cheese on top
Place in the oven for 12 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese
Place under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes to make the tortilla and cheese a little crispy on top
Finish off with chopped green onion
Slice and serve with sour cream and extra salsa and tortilla chips
