Receta Deluxe Skillet Taco Pie
Deluxe Skillet Taco PieThis taco pie skillet dinner is a tasty weeknight family meal. Very easy to make!
What a family pleaser this pie is! It's like one giant self-contained taco.
This is actually a hack of those "Impossible Pies" that Bisquick has so many of. However, most of that fare seems a bit bland and tasteless to me, so I tried to improve a bit upon the original.Great family dinnerI like--well, no, I rather LOVE chipotles and the flavor they impart to most things so in anything vaguely Mexican, I throw it in (and even non-Mexican, but I won't get into that here).
The salsa--another beloved concotion--I had some left over from making my Mexican Seven-Layered Dip so that made it into the mix as well. I thought it would improve the flavor of the "crust."
And lastly, the original was a bit skimpy on the cheese--I mean 3/4 cup??? Oh, no, that's blasphemy. And I thought I was being conservative here with 1 1/2 cups. But use as much as you want. Even mix in some jack cheese--it only gets better.
Since this is going in a 400 degree oven, make sure your skillet can stand the heat. I used my cast iron pan...which I thought was perfect and made a nice presentation too.
Serve with plenty of shredded lettuce and tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream...and dig in!
