TACO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortillas and cook, flipping a few times, until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cayenne and cook 30 seconds. Add the pork and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chiles and corn. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Arrange half of the tortillas in the bottom of a 9-to-10-inch pie plate. Top with half of the meat mixture, then half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, meat and cheese. Cover loosely with foil and bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.

LIGHT TACO PIE

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a skillet. Brown it and drain off the fat. Add the water, olives (optional), and taco seasoning mix and cook on low until the water is gone.
• Meanwhile, open the dinner rolls and press into the bottom of a standard glass pie plate. This is the crust of your pie. Crush about a cup of Fritos and spread evenly over bottom of pie crust.
• Now the ground beef should be done so spread the meat mixture evenly over the crust. Spread the sour cream evenly over the entire top of the meat. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the sour cream. Crush enough of the remaining Fritos to cover the top entirely.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve with shredded lettuce and the tomatoes.
