This taco pie is a great alternative to a build-your-own taco bar. It can be made ahead of time and baked off right before the party. Just slice it up and set out some traditional toppings, buffet-style so everyone can customize. Be sure to let it stand before serving, as that’s the key to everything holding together.

Instructions Checklist
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add beef and onion; cook, stirring to crumble, until onions are softened and meat is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and salsa until combined. Cook 2 minutes, and remove from heat.

  • Place 1 pie crust in bottom of a pie plate. Spread refried beans evenly over crust; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheddar. Top with beef mixture, and then spoon green chiles evenly over beef mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with remaining pie crust; lightly press edges of crust together to seal.  

  • Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes, tenting edges with foil during the last 10 minutes if crust becomes too brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with desired toppings.
