Burrito Pie

Stacked layers of cheese, taco meat, salsa and tortillas create a satisfying Mexican dish.  It is made in a pie plate for a fun twist on taco night.

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups cooked white rice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
4 10 inch flour tortilla shells
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa
1 1/2 cups cooked taco meat
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Add the rice, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to a medium mixing bowl and stir well to combine
  • Place one flour tortilla in the bottom of a deep dish pie plate
  • Spread tortilla with 2 tablespoons of sour cream
  • Top with 1/2 cup of prepared rice and 1/2 cup of taco meat
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of salsa over the top
  • Sprinkle on 1/2 cup of cheese
  • Repeat layers 2 more times, pressing down the tortilla stack each time you add a new tortilla
  • Add a final layer of tortilla, sour cream, salsa, and cheese to the top
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until hot and melted
Serve with all of your favorite taco toppings, such as diced tomatoes, guacamole, hot sauce, etc.
Tupps Tidbits:  You can cook the rice and make up the taco meat the day before to save time at dinner...make sure to spray the bottom of the pie plate with cooking spray

This recipe was wonderful!  Spicy and delicious and very filling. This is a serious winner for a quick family dinner. This recipe is a KEEPER IN OUR HOUSE!
