Cast Iron Taco Pie

timelessdishes
I love cooking in my cast iron skillet. It’s tough, reliable, and always delivers delicious results. That’s exactly why I couldn’t resist trying this Cast Iron Taco Pie. It combines everything I love: bold taco flavors, cheesy comfort food vibes, and the crispy perfection only a cast iron pan can achieve.

Equipment

  • 1 10-inch cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 10-inch tortillas
  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ packets of taco seasoning
  • ½ cup nacho cheese
  • 1 15.5 oz can black beans drained
  • ¾ cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese

Toppings

  • Pico de gallo
  • Cilantro
  • Shredded Lettuce
  • Sour Cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large skillet, cook ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  • Drain excess grease, then add taco seasoning. Stir to coat evenly. Set aside.
  • In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, place one tortilla flat on the bottom.
  • Spread drained black beans evenly over the tortilla.
  • Add spoonfuls of nacho cheese on top of the beans and spread into a smooth layer.
  • Layer the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese.
  • Place the second tortilla on top to form the “pie lid.”
  • Bake for 10 minutes until the top tortilla begins to crisp up.
  • Remove from oven. Spread salsa over the top tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese.
  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let it cool slightly, then top with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, cilantro, and sour cream.
  • Slice into wedges, serve warm, and enjoy!
