It’s frustrating when you go to fast taco places, order your tacos, and then when you bite into your tacos, all you get is refried beans. So most of the times I just make my own. A twist in the regular tacos is this layered taco pies from Kraft Foods that everyone would love to dig into.
Easy Layered Taco Pie
INGREDIENTS :
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 pkg. (1-1/4 oz.) TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Taco Seasoning Mix
1/2 cup water
4 flour tortillas (6 inch), cut into quarters
1 cup TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick ‘N Chunky Salsa
1 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup BREAKSTONE’S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
Crumble meat into microwaveable (plastic) colander; place over microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 8 min., stirring every 2 min. to break up meat. Discard fat. Transfer meat to 9-inch microwaveable pie plate. Stir in seasoning mix and water. Microwave 5 min., stirring after 3 min.
Remove half of meat mixture; set aside. Cover remaining meat mixture in pie plate with half of the tortilla quarters. Repeat layers of meat mixture and tortillas; top with salsa and cheese. Microwave 4 min.
Top with remaining ingredients. Cut into wedges to serve.
This is definitely an easy, fun, colorful and light lunch or dinner for everyone.
